Women's Day

Tuesday March 8th was Women's day.  Vietnam celebrates by giving flowers or other special gifts to  women.  I was asked to share at a special celebration with a group of ladies.  I was picked up around 9:30 by one of our friends who translates for us.  There were just under 20 ladies there and I was able to share with them about the gifts we have been given and that no matter our place in life we are all gifted to do something.  I shared about Aimee Semple McPherson and also a favorite of mine, Heidi Baker who works in Africa feeding thousands of children daily through their ministry.  She wrote a book entitled More Than Enough, after God had given her a dream and told her that if she feed them and took them in there would always be more than enough of everything she needed.  Her faith really challenges me.  After sharing we had a skit and games and then some of the ladies dressed up in the traditional Ao Dai's and sang some songs.  It was beautiful.  We then shared a great lunch and I was given a basket of flowers.  I almost lost them several times on the motor bike ride home but we both arrived safely.  Blessings to all of you women who have influenced my life.
