We were visited recently by Dr. Regi Thomas, and Dr. Rajan, ENT surgeons from CMC Vellore. They visited with their families and conducted an ENT camp here in Manali. Two hundred patients were seen in three days and surgeries performed. It was very refreshing to spend time with them. Earlier we were visited by Dr. Chuck Thompson, Luke Walters and Lonnie, from the United States. Dr. Chuck is a prominent interventional cardiologist there.
We all need encouragement wherever we may work. This can come from patients, from families, from the turn of circumstances. However, the right hand of fellowship is when two like minded people come together and spend some time together. There is something special when hearts motivated by service to our Master come together, and a commonality emerges as shared experiences that need not be elucidated join paths for a brief while. It leaves each person encouraged, and as paths diverge again to continue the journey, each heart leaves a little warmer.
I was very encouraged by the support that is in the hearts of senior people like these towards work in small areas like that we work in. They are at the apex of academia and practice. They have achieved standards of practice that are internationally recognised and are at the cutting edge of advancement. Yet their hearts reach out to the remote regions and workers who are far removed. This is the love of the Lord, reaching out to us.
It is a proud realisation that we have partners like this, and that we can all mutually continue to strive and encourage each other in our respective journeys.
