Ofane

Yesterday we visited the elderly in Titanyen.  Healing Haiti takes care of about 30 elderly in the community.  They provide them with medical care, clean water, and meals.  Each week different Healing Haiti teams visit specific elderly and bring them care packages, pray with them, and sing worship songs with them.  It is such a precious time to share with them.

Ofane is in our ElderCare program.  He is a man filled with so much joy and gratitude.  When I told him my mom was coming to visit Haiti, he started dancing.  He was so excited to meet her.  Yesterday, we got to meet him.  Our team arrived at his house and he came out to greet us.  He shook our hands and hugged us.  He was so happy to see us.  He is a living miracle.  He has leprosy.  He has lost most of his foot to the disease, yet that does not hinder him.  He walks his goats daily, comes to Grace Village to get a new bandage on his foot every other day, dances, jokes, and is so thankful to Jesus for the blessings that God has poured out on him.  What a way to live...to embrace each moment and to be thankful for all that the Lord has blessed him with.  To see each day as a new day!  A day to love and serve the Lord!  A day to be a living example of loving others the way Christ does.
