Great Times with Incredible Women
What a GREAT day Wednesday was! There were a few things to do at the house in the morning and then Anna had made plans for us to have lunch with some friends of hers. We went to a delightful little place called Para Te. It is a small oriental restaurant that serves DELICIOUS teas. For those of you who know me, oriental is NOT on my list of favorite foods, but the tea was great. And the company, even better!
couldn't didn't eat much of the food, but it gave us great moments of laughter as we tried! Some, (Melinda and Anna) are heading home on furlough and one (Michelle) will be leaving the DR to follow God's leading to Alabama. (Some may say that is still a foreign mission field, .) I think all of them had been in the DR over 5+ years and one dear lady, Betty,had been in Haiti for almost 15 years before coming here to start a Haitian church.
It was such a blessing to listen to them encourage one another, to lift each other up, to help out with various challenges that they are facing.I was challenged in my spirit to lift these families up, they face challenges DAILY that we can't imagine. I am again reminded that I take SO much for granted. May God continue to bless these incredible ladies and the work that they and their husbands are doing.
Later that evening, Anna led the ladies Bible study at their church. They had a great group there and they were so excited about studying God's Word. They had obviously done much studying at home and had a great discussion time. Again, what a blessing to hear God's people digging into the Word to hear what the Lord has for them in their personal walk.
What a picture lesson I got today! Spending time with those who have dedicated their lives to serving and teaching, and the fruit of the labor.
