Good deeds

“In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

First we must have good deeds. What are they to you? My heart is filled with ideas for me to do. My spirit is singing praises to the One who gives me those good deeds to do.

I have just spent the weekend travelling to a place called Pokhara in Nepal. My purpose was to talk to people who recycle waste. I was looking to solve two problems: poverty and a land polluted with recyclable waste. To reach Pokhara I travelled on a bus. The trip took seven hours going and 10 hours returning overnight. I arrived back in Kathmandu yesterday at 5am. I went home, rested and had breakfast, went to have a blood test, as I was due for a check up after a supposed mini stroke. I then went to college which took all morning and returned to the hospital for the results and an appointment with my doctor. I was given the all clear and went to an appointment with another recycler here in Kathmandu. I had an excellent meeting and returned home to cook dinner, shop and make a birthday cake for a friend’s birthday in Wednesday. I ama wake at 3:30am with my spirit singing praises to my God and vision filling my mind. I am 71.

My life is not spent, rather it has begun! As  I learn Nepali I am wanting to go out to the villages to speak, train and assist. I want to be an agent of transformation in Nepal. For now the Lord has given me an area called Sindhulpalchok. It is mountainous and much is remote. Just as well that I like trekking.

My goal is to stop trafficking and transform villages from rubbish dumps to places of life, one village at a time. I want to teach women to read and write their names, so that they are empowered. I want to provide micro loans so that these same women can bring their familes alive with enterprise.

I want to teach them all about the source of life, remove the darkness, bring healing and light. What have you been given to do?
