Willing to Share
Our Thai friends have always been generous givers and some have been especially kind in small ways lately...
Starfruit from the garden of my student Som. Our family isn't the biggest fan of the flavor, so the girls and I made stamps with them! :)
Every day during my English class, my student's mother collects these flowers and gives them to me in a little bag at the end of class. They smell incredibly powerful and she told me they are used to make perfume.
One day this week I came home to a street full of children playing in front of our house (chalk drawing) with our kids. And look what one of the neighbors had given to our kids!! The frog, bunny, and mouse are each sized for our kids and hand crocheted- so cute!
These are just a few examples. Last night, our landlady sent over some homemade Thai dessert for us...things like that happen all the time!
I'm challenged by a culture where generosity is such a part of life and want to have that same spirit, inspired by Jesus....
"...God richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life." I Tim. 6: 18, 19
