Mercy in the Philippines

Jelsma family We live in the Philippines and work with Mercy In Action, an organization that trains midwives and medics to serve among the world's poor in the name of Christ. We are committed to loving God, people and those who have yet to experience the love God has for them and know Him personally.

Mothers Day Musings

Today we celebrated Mother's Day by having breakfast out at "the Dome", a pretty nice restaurant where we can eat a typical "Canadian" style breakfast complete with eggs, bacon, toast and coffee. We enjoyed ourselves, the beautiful atmosphere, the service and the food!
One thing really hit me today...
My breakfast cost what most of my patients husbands earn for a day's wage.
Our family ate what for them is an entire week's earnings.
Food for thought.
Still chewing on this one.
