On the Fridge

It's more than just a Saturday morning thing to do.

Any time we bring out the paints and brushes (last supply boost thanks to Abby from our July trip), the creativity flows in no end of fun ways.  It's such fun watching the different personalities emerge in their artwork.  Some are after quantity, producing piece after piece of wild colour and bold brush strokes.  Others are more into precision, taking time with one creation, carefully nuancing hues and filling in details.

And always, it's  peua Sponsor.  'for my Sponsor.'

Suradet reminded them again this morning at worship time.  "Your Sponsors have the pictures you've painted held up with magnets on their fridge."  He's referring to how often he's seen this for himself, when in Canada and invited into your homes for a meal.   It surprised him at first.  Right there on a fridge in Canada is a child's hand painted creation beside a picture of one of his kids!  He tells them again this is a sign of how much God must love them, to provide for them a family in Canada who wants them to be safe and well fed and have every opportunity to become all God created them to be.  

These first few days are going by so fast, and yet are already rich with the evidence of the tenderness of God.   Today (Monday) begins our reading program in more earnest.  As I write, Team members are preparing various English activities and games that we hope will enhance both the learning and the fun.

So, Sponsors, brace yourselves.  We'll be bringing home more pieces of art and love for your fridges, or wherever you night want to store the treasures from your Treasure.
