…Christmas?
No! Although that is usually the only time I find myself turning out dozen after dozen of cookies! These 20 dozen cookies were made to welcome and sustain a hungry work team of 9 men who are currently working with the Shalom church here in Choluteca.
Cross-eyed Missions is a work team made up of 2 doctors and a random collection of other professions such as a mechanic, a retired principle, a milk sales distributor and equipment rental owner, all here to share of their lives and blessings with those in need of eye care.
Daily we are traveling to locations in and around Choluteca, setting up clinics for eye-exams and glasses fittings. It is amazing to me that probably upwards of 90% of those patients who are seen, need glasses! Some have had glasses previously, many have not. But can you imagine simply living with poor eye-sight because….
…well, you still have some sight so you just use what you have,
…there are no resources for something that is not immediately urgent,
…and it just isn’t a given in life to get routine eye checkups!
Eyes filled with hope.
Eyes clouded with cataracts
Eyes carrying the weight of the world.
Eyes shining a warm smile.
Eyes covered with ptryegiums.
Eyes too beautiful for words!
