The ladies met on Friday, Jan. 25 for some time of snacks
and fellowship. Gabi Szabo, Missions
Director with Fundatia Buckner, read a story to the ladies about a mother with
only one eye. The story tells how the
son was embarrassed of his mother, and once grown, didn’t want anything to do
with her. The son marries and moves off,
leaving his mother alone. One day the mom
shows up to see her grandchildren, but the son sends her off, explaining that
she would scare the children. The mother
leaves with a broken heart. It was only
after the mother died that the son found out why his mom only had one eye………he
was born with only one eye, and his mother had given him hers so that he would
be normal. Why such a sad story? Because many times, our children don’t
realize the sacrifices that mothers make for them. Despite the hardships, moms stand firm for
their children. These ladies also suffer
tremendous hardships – husbands away for long periods of time trying to find
employment, no money, no job, kids at home, no food, cold, and lonely. Every time we get together, encouragement is
always handed out. These ladies need confirmation
that they are important, and their job as a mother is vital.
Wouldn’t it be great if a women’s group in the states took
the time to write a note of encouragement?
There are 30-40 ladies who come to our monthly meetings. If your women’s group would like to
participate in this, please let me know.
