Meet Elvira. This beautiful woman
lives in Rukungiri, Uganda, where my team is spending the month of
August. Tuesday morning, I set out [alongside Bill and Carl] to
visit the homes of people from All Saints Church. While sitting in Elvira’s joyful presence, you wouldn’t know that she is a widow taking care of children and grandchildren… body weak and weary… instead, you would know this:
She has the joy of the Lord.
It exudes from her being.
Her smile radiates Christ.
She is alive and well in Jesus…
And it challenges me. When I am tired and weary does the joy of the Lord seep out of my soul? Because that’s what I want.
Just like Elvira.
