Opportunity

Hello from Swazi!  God has been providing opportunities to be His hands and feet, to be Love and to be Joy this week.  It is a blessing. 

An opportunity to share.  As I have mentioned before- one of our mission sites is Enjabewani Bridging School.  It is a free school for students that attend.  Last week when we went we were able to simply experience it and spend time with the kids.  This week we were able to go into classrooms and teach a little- it was wonderful!  These students are so filled with joy that it overflows!! It makes everything else disappear.  I was able to go to grade 3 and grade 1.  I love it!  In grade 1 we were able to work with the class quite a bit- I was in my comfort zone and fell in love with it.  Letting God lead the way we did some math, patterns, and clapping and simon says games.  They laughed and smiled and it was amazing to witness Christ in these little ones. 
We also started a Bible Study there.  We split up boys and girls and even with a language barrier we serve and praise the same God.  I am starting to really build relationships that will be hard to leave…

An Opportunity to learn and support. 

We had the opportunity to share some skills with the girls in the home this week.  Which is an opportunity for them to learn and also to support themselves.  Tenele’s Treasures is part of Hosea’s Heart and the girls are making items to sell fairly in the US to support them and the Hope For Life Home.  We have been doing some sowing…. Yes an experience for me as well :)

 

An Opportunity to Praise:

We have been able to do a Bible Study in home as well.  It is great to encourage them to be Women of God.  Our group told the story of blind Bartemaous where he asks Jesus to see.  But it was an opportunity to share with the girls about seeing what God sees, and His heart, not just physically.  A truth that is hard for many of us to grasp- opening our eyes to God’s heart, having Spiritual Eyes.  It is great if we really ask Him to open the eyes of our heart= He starts to reveal beauty in a new way, listening in a new way and joy and smiles in a new way. 

Lastly an Opportunity to Laugh and Love..yes Laugh!

Mongonenni care point is one of my favorite places to go and be the hands and feet of Christ and His love.  To hold children that are craving to be held and loved.  And to laugh!  Of course me, laugh.  Friday at the care point I was holding  3 little ones on my lap when suddenly I found myself in a tickle attack by about 4 others!  I couldn’t help but laugh and giggle and experience pure joy and love through those little hands and little beautiful smiles!  Praise God!
