Hispanic Mission Minute - by Abby Dawkins
"Papa!, Papa!, I want to ride!" shouted the little guy in front of me last
Saturday's Cinco de Mayo celebration on Lake Street. A vender was providing
and leading pony rides for the children present at the festival. The little
tot in front of me was dressed for the part with his leather-tipped cowboy
boots, snake-skin jacket and western hat to match. He was ready for the
ride. This reminds me of my experiences serving the Hispanic community here
in Minneapolis over the past months. It has bee a ride - many ups, downs,
and unexpected turns and sometimes I don't feel I have the strength to "stay
on the horse" that day. But, like the vendors, our heavenly Father is
leading us every step of the way. This gives us the confidence to trust and
shout, "Papa,! I want to ride!" Where is your heavenly Father leading you
today? Pray for the Reyes Family - they they would know the
freedom that come ins Christ. Pray for Baptism classes in the
next few weeks.
