Mein schönstes Geburtstagsgeschenk - My best birthday present

in deutsch •  3 years ago 

Vor 5 Jahren, am 24.12.2016, kamen wir zum allerersten Mal zum Lake Bunyonyi in Uganda.
Es war mein 50. Geburtstag und am Abend sangen und tanzten die Kinder für mich.
Das war wunderschön und was aus dieser ersten Begegnung geworden ist, wißt ihr ja alle.
Seit 4 Jahren haben wir unser eigenes Projekt dort.
Es ist soviel passiert und wir haben soviel geschafft, wir können das manchmal selbst kaum glauben.
Aber natürlich war das auch sehr viel Arbeit.
Der Lohn dafür sind die strahlenden Gesichter und die Gewissheit, das Leben von vielen Menschen verbessert zu haben.
Oft kamen so Sprüche wie "...man kann nicht die ganze Welt retten..."
oder "Das ist doch nur ein Tropfen auf den heißen Stein."

Wir möchten auch nicht die Welt retten.
Aber es macht sehr wohl einen Unterschied, dieser eine Tropfen!
Wenn du Hunger hast und jemand bringt dir Essen,
wenn du krank bist und jemand dir Medikamente bringt,
wenn du keine Elektrizität in deinem Haus hast und dir jemand eine Solar-Anlage bringt.....
ja, dann ist das für dich nicht nur der kleine Tropfen....

Vorgestern war es dann mal wieder soweit....Geburtstag.....
Und wieder sangen die Kinder für mich....
Dieses Geschenk ...das schönste Geburtstagsgeschenk....so schön!

5 years ago, on 24.12.2016, we came to Lake Bunyonyi in Uganda for the very first time.
It was my 50th birthday and in the evening the children sang and danced for me.
It was wonderful and you all know what happened to that first meeting.
We have had our own project there for four years.
So much has happened and we have achieved so much, we can hardly believe it ourselves sometimes.
But of course it was also a lot of work.
The reward is the beaming faces and the certainty that we have improved the lives of many people.
Often we heard sayings like "...you can't save the whole world...".
or "It's just a drop in the ocean."

We don't want to save the world either.
But it does make a difference, that one drop!
If you are hungry and someone brings you food,
if you are sick and someone brings you medicine,
if you have no electricity in your house and someone brings you a solar panel.....
yes, then that's not just the little drop for you....

The day before yesterday, it was once again....birthday.....
And again the children sang for me....
This present ...the most beautiful birthday present....so beautiful!

My dear friend, what a beautiful birthday present, with those beautiful eyes, beautiful smiles and blessed voices.
It is a beautiful surprise, your birthday is on December 24, my parents got married on that same date, that's why I say that with my friends from the PUB I have a beautiful connection, it is like a meeting of connected souls in the PUB, like a wonderful time tunnel.
I thank God and Blurt for having the opportunity to meet you. Happy Birthday.
Good vibes.

Thank you and Cogratulation to your parents!

Wie schön, da geht einem das Herz auf. Bin ja nicht so der Fan von frohe Weihnachts-, Geburtstags- und was weiß ich Wünschen... weil es teilweise doch "überdosiert" wird.

Das Video ist wirklich herzig und bei Schnapszahlen mach ich gerne eine Ausnahme ;-) Von mir nachträglich auch alles alles Gute und noch viele Jahre so tolle Geburtstagsvideos.

Danke!
Mir geht das genauso,
von mir aus könnte man das alles abschaffen...

Die Kinder sind immer so fröhlich, obwohl sie nichts haben.
Mir sind sofort wieder die dicken Bäuche aufgefallen.
Das ist wegen der Mangelernährung.
Auch viele Erwachsene sind proper,
aber auch das kommt nicht von zu viel essen...
Ich schweife schon wieder ab...

Lieben Gruß!

Praise God for all and most praise to him for the simplicity of your life !
It is rewarding to be humble . I hope to do a birth song for you in Africa , God keeping us , next year .

You could create a Blurt-song with the children and make a post with it.....
So we have not to wait one year...😁😊
