Kindess and Singing Deep in the Heart of Texas

The weekend was full... Heart - Full ... as I arrived back from Florida for several highlights.

First, our youngest daughter, Kelsey, and two of her dental school friends met us for dinner and dialogue. It's a rare treat when one of our children (who aren't really children anymore) come home... this old house just gets bigger and bigger now that they are all grown!

DLW (a.k.a.... my husband) gave a free day of dentistry to our community on Saturday... the friends and daughter came from San Antonio to help.  It was a tremendous heart-filled day for the entire dental team!  One story really grabbed me...

At 2:30 p.m. the day before, a little, elderly lady was sitting at the front door during regular business hours. When they told her she had come a day too early, she replied, "I know... I want to be sure to have a place in line first thing tomorrow." 

There she sat, with her blanket and a bag of food, ready to bed down for the night for free dental work!

As you can imagine, word spread through the office pretty fast and the team squeezed her into the schedule and got her work done on Friday afternoon. Well, needless to say, before she left the whole office was tearing up...

The reach out to the community had reached right back in and grabbed ahold of  their hearts!

Then... the Baylor A Cappella Choir sang at 7th (our church is Seventh and James Baptist - a rich heritage church with a great music tradition!)  Directed by Dr. Alan Raines... Mack Wilberg's "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" gave a leap in my heart and left me breathless... tears welled up inside... and that is when... in moments like this... I feel God's presence.  Here they also sang it in Jones Hall... (if you can only catch a little... listen 3:40 to the end... (highlight is around 4:36).....

It's a spiritual thing... a Soul-Singing kind of moment! 

I thank God that He created music... harmonies... singing... what a gift it brings!

I thank God for volunteers who give their time/dollars to help people have better smiles... free from pain!

So that's it for now... see you next post! 

La - Ti - Do!
