Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Matthew 6:26-27

We serve patients who have nowhere else to go--whether it's offering a routine physical and labwork after years of no care, extracting teeth for folks in extreme pain, or listening and encouraging during times of trial.  We are learning the same lessons of God's provision!  Last night at clinic we needed one Spanish-speaking volunteer and unexpectedly had two; a doctor spent lots of quality time with her first patient and then had a second patient cancel so was no longer behind; and our request for volunteers to help with an admin project produced multiple offers to help in the office or take work home.  As people on this earth we are all in need, and we all have the chance to know the source of hope, the One who promises to provide for His children.  I am grateful.
