Lord of all Creation

This post might seem a bit scattered but its whats on my mind right now. Lord of all creation of water earth and sky the heavens are your tabernacle glory to the Lord on high. This weekend I got to see a part of God’s creation that I have been fascinated by for a while but hardly ever get to see. Waterfalls!  I went with on Sunday with four friends.  The walk was a bit of a bumpy, narrow, muddy, slipper walk with a few hills and old house to pass by.  It was a great way to spend day enjoying God’s creation. While standing there taking in the massive waterfall and getting wet from the off spray this song came to me. “Lord of all creation of water earth and sky”. While standing I can see the creation of water earth and sky. But He is also lord of all creation including all the patient we see at the dental clinic. Today was a screening day, which means that hundreds of patients line up outside the brick wall that runs around the dental clinic/hope center. There are two lines, one for males one for females. Gini goes down the lines and looks for priority patients first; patients who have very swollen faces and are in a lot of pain. She makes two more trips up and down the line passing out wrist bands for the next days appointments.  The number of appointments she hands out always changes based on the amount of dentist we have working.  Every Sunday and Wednesday night these patients line up and every Monday and Thursday we round the corner to the clinic and see the huge line.  I can’t help but feel a bit saddened every time knowing that we won’t be able to see all of them.  Every morning during devos we pray for the team of us doing the work, the dentist, assistants, and the day volunteers for us to show them mercy and love by relieving them of their pain. That as we serve them that we are serving God and giving him the glory. We pray for the remaining patients that don’t make it into the clinic. That they understand we are doing our best to give them the free care and service. But also that we can only do so much and it is hard for us to turn down patients but it is the reality. Tomorrow is another day and we see another 40+ patients with our two dentists.
