A gentleman from Pakistan visited school the other day. He works at a Christian school in Pakistan and came over for a missions trip and to meet up with some Aussies. What a fabulous. He shared a bit with us about the school that has grown considerably, that has atttracted some muslinm families, that has prayer and devotions as part of the day. He spoke a little about conditions in Pakistan, especially for women and in particular, Christian women. He spoke of poverty. He spoke of all sorts and then he brought out beautifully handmade goodies. The women are taught these skills and sew everything by hand and then sell these to make a few cents for their families...and then you realise 'how blessed am I?' There were cushion covers, bags, wallets and these. To be honest i am not exactly sure what this is, it has pockets to put goodies (letters perhaps) in. I liked it because i can hang it up (it hangs by the front door)and be a reminder of how blessed I am, we are. It tells me a story and reminds me daily how great God is and that despite unbearable conditions, these people are making a living, using their talents and creating a one of a kind, made with love article.
