Yesterday our guest speaker was Pastor Tom Mahairas, a "retired" pastor who has recently been involved in training Ugandan widows to become self-sufficient through farming.
Pastor Tom shared about COTN (Children of the Nile), a nonprofit organization through which the pastor and his colleagues provide seeds. He noted that, this year, the widows will receive seeds for corn plants.
He also noted that while we here in the United States complain about checkout lines and whether we can purchase "our favorite coffee flavor", these widows travel long distances by foot and patiently wait for hours on the distribution lines.
Lord, You have given us so much! Help us never to complain.
