Getting to visit the pedeatric floor

Something very neat happened on two of our visits with the teams I took in. I had carried some extra larger hats and literature with me since on my first trip I was asked if I wanted to check to see if there were any babies in pediatrics. So I wanted to be prepared to give a little hat if there were. There was one 6 month old baby girl, whose mother was working with a social worker. She came from an area that is very impoverished and to look at her you knew she had/has a very rough life. They did not know what was wrong with the baby. I was asked by the volunteer ladies if I had any other supplies available that I could give her and I made arrangement to bring her a bag of supplies when we returned a couple days later. As we were arranging this it occurred to me to ask that if upon our return we could also bring some coloring books and crayons that the team had brought with them to give out to the children there.  We were told yes and when we came back we gave them a zip lock bag with a coloring book about Jesus and a tract and crayons. We were able to come in again with the following team, This time giving out a toy. This was wonderful to see God open doors for the right time. I especially enjoyed seeing a little 2 or 3 year old who was lying in her crib roll over and get up to reach for the big lighted bouncy ball.  We thought she was turning away from it when in fact she was just trying to get up to get it. So cute.
