The widows we visited while at COTN were such a joy to see and be around. Their love and gratitude for the Lord showed in what they did. Children of the Nations(COTN) has a program that trains these widows on how to learn a skill and market that skill to provide an income for themselves. This way they don't have to rely on donations or handouts for survival. Most of them are doing sewing for their acquired skill. Luckily we brought 150 lbs. of fabric for them to use for their projects. This will give them a 100% profit. I pray that they are successful in all they do. Some of them care for 3 children and some as many as 6 children. You can see their lifes trials written all over their faces. The encouraging part is that they give all the glory to Jesus where it belongs. They know that if it was not for Jesus's love for them then they would not be where they are today. They have a fraction of what we have in a closet let alone our whole house. The widows take such pride in the little that they have. It definitely makes me think twice about what I just gotta have because it looks cool or "everyone has one". I think we have it all backwards at times.
