I took a different take on the bible study this time. I borrowed the idea from a dear friend in North Carolina. I gathered the Honduran baskets and many donated items, bibles, devotional books, hand lotions, and some lady bugs made by the hands of the Honduran folk. During the day there was an opportune time to give the ladies each one of these items. The first item given out was a bible to give someone who was lost and needed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I gave them a book mark with the plan of salvation on it. Later in the morning I gave each of them a daily devotional book. But the best one of all was in the afternoon when I handed out a tube of hand lotion. I asked the ladies to pick a partner. They all looked at me and I could tell they were thinking what is she up to now. I asked each of them to take turns massaging each others' hands. I got to sit and be Anna's partner. So once we got started I immediately took Anna's hand first. She was very taken back I served her first. She is always giving giving and giving to everyone. This did my heart good to finally get to do something special for Anna. Anna has a beautiful smile which radiates any room she enters. She is the lady in the brown blouse above. Enjoy her smile as I always do. It is times like this when I wish I was fluent in Spanish so I could just sit and talk to Anna and hear her story. I asked the ladies during the massage had any of them ever had this done. They all sad NO. So thank you God for providing me this idea and the materials to do this for the ladies on this special day. At the end of the day Pastor Pedro's wife, Maria had brought a big bag of fruit all the ladies enjoyed. Much thanks to Orfilio who helped Mike with the preparations of Wendy's lunch.
One more item of interest to you all. We played the white elephant game today and had different prizes for each lady. I explained the rules and I shared you know we are doing a study on Kindness and Goodness so be careful how you play the game. Please take your friend's gift from her with kindness and goodness. During the entire game not one lady took someone else's gift from the other. Everyone liked Rosa's gift but one not take it from her. Mike shared this is just how they are. But at the end of the day , Naomi, Orfilio's wife and Anna were discussing their gifts and they willing exchanged with each other. These ladies are a true role model of a Proverbs 31 woman. Thank you God for putting such godly examples into my life. I learn from these ladies on a daily basis. Thank you to all the folks who help make this day happen and to be so successful in the name of Jesus.
God is good all the time and all the time God is good.
Please read the chapter Isaiah 53 about why we have eternal life!!!
Thank you Jesus for dying for me.
