Mother's Day in Mexico is always May 10th. This year the Pan de Vida Youth Group made the day extra special for all the Moms. They gave special attention to making decorations for the table and cooking a delicious meal that they served to us. We had fun playing some games that the kids had put much thought into planning. We were also treated to a skit and some poems. I was very touched that Jose Juan and David, who are beginners with the guitar, played special music for us, while Lupita sang. Then we were each presented with a gift~a cross!
After we ate, there was a time of reflection and testimony. It was emotional as the youth shared how much it meant to them to have people love them and care for them when their biological Moms had abandoned, neglected and/or abused them. The fruit in their spiritual lives is evident in their testimonies. I feel thankful and privileged that I am one, who has been chosen, to be a part of God's great plan in their lives :)
