One of the benefits of sitting in a baby house and feeding my special little friend, is getting the chance to talk with some of our staff. The other day, I got to talk to one of our relief workers whom I have never had a long conversation with before. She was telling me about her family. She is married with 2 kids and her husband is working at a factory and he does not make much money. She said that it is hard to have enough each month because her income in unpredictable (relief workers do not have set hours and only fill in when we need them). Then her next sentence was," But we do not have to worry because we serve a mighty God who provides for us." Life can be so hard but her faith in God is so strong.
She shared that her mother used to be a baker and now is suffering with diabetes and needs insulin shots each day. She has 6 siblings and they have all agreed to give their mother M100 a month to help her get medication and food each month. What a beautiful picture of families taking care of each other. What a way to honor your mother in her old age. I was so blessed by this conversation and I am thankful that we have women with such giving and loving and trusting hearts working alongside us here at Beautiful Gate. Not to mention her wonderful smile which makes everyone feel welcome.
