Threads of Hope Belize

While mommas sew, kids just sit and behave.
WRONG. You can see from
the picture what a wide open

area they have to run and play. We gave them
"sit down order" during devotion which lasted
about 3 cookies worth. In Belize...where momma
goes so go the children. Everyone was working except for me so I was the"child crowd" control.

 Three cookies worth isn't a lot of time but we did get in our devotion and prayer before the ruckus started again.





This little guy's name is Chris he was with us last year but smaller of course with no bicycle to run people down. He has only one volume and that
                                                                                    extremely loud.

This young guy is Brandon and he is Chris's cousin. Everything Chris does Brandon does louder. Now picture yourself in a room that echos with these two boys, 4 sewing machines going, music playing, cell phones ringing and two other children trying to yell above the mommas talking. I am attempting to give a sewing lesson in Spanish and English. Who said God doesn't have a sense of humor???
 

 Here is my "little crowd" under control........
guess we will do selfies the rest of the afternoon.

Natalie was with us last year during class but she is now in school.
She is also related to the other children. Both mommas are the special
ones who are in charge of the group and they do a fantastic job. They help with instruction during the year and keep the building clean.
This group is growing together helping one another as they connect over one thing they have in common. The love of sewing. 

Life happens in Belize as it does at home and no matter how messy it gets God is in the middle of all of it. Each and every day I am blessed to serve.
