<..."Then Jesus said to the captain: "Go home, do everything as you have believed." And at that moment the boy was healthy..." Mateo 8:13
In the country I live in, Venezuela, we see ourselves every day in different tests of faith. I tell you an anecdote:
I was with my mother making reflections, while she baked, she loves to bake things and give it to the children, there was little in our store, we did not have much money in the accounts and my basic instincts began to stir inside. Without further ado I said in a bad way:
-you, we should think about ourselves, we should not be giving away everything we have, we should remember that we have to manage what is bought and thus give us the whole month. There is no food and no money in our accounts.
It should be noted that my mother is very believing, so she told me, quiet daughter, then it will look like it can be solved, now, I just want to see how those children enjoy what I did, I like to see how they shine Little eyes when I give them a cake, however insignificant this action may be. I only do it for that and think, that in this big gap, they never have the opportunity to try something like that.
You will believe that I lie, but that day, a close friend arrived, who works on food projects and left us some things to help, my mother, she just gave me a look that I immediately understood in its meaning.
