I know what you’re thinking but no, I don’t have lice (thank God!) This post is about our last day of ministry before debrief.
On the last day of ministry, we went to a village and we washed kids hair with lice shampoo and we picked the lice out of their hair. Ew, i know, its gross and personally i didn’t really want to do it. I was scared that I would get lice and I didn’t even know what lice looked like. But that was our ministry so i did it and it turned out way better than I thought. These kids had lice so bad that it almost had me in tears. How itchy must their heads be? Are they just used to it now? all these question are running through my head as I try my best to make a slight dent in getting the lice out of this child’s hair. It made me stop and see that this simple act of combing and washing a child’s hair can make all the difference in the world. We just loved them and served them through this and I know they felt very loved. Now that I look back at that experience, i can see that no matter how gross or scary or boring the ministry is, its still blessing someone and thats all the reason i need to do it.
