While we were in Bendigo,Victoria, Australia, it suddenly rained hail! The first thing in my mind and 'head for shelter'! and pointed out a bookshop that was about 50metres away.
We were dripping wet and there were about 10 of us in that small shop. I know that i cannot pretend I want to buy something, so I apologised to the shop assistant. Instead of chasing us out (as i would imagine in some other countries), she smiled very warmly and welcomed us. I explained that we were a group of missionaries and what we did. The shop, as we learnt later is a resource for learning. And shortly after, these ladies gladly gave me a pack of 'Feeling Cards' as a resource for our children ministry! These can be used internationally since they didnt have any words! And what a gift this is!
After returning back to the group and showing them the gift, they all were very amazed and surprised, this was exactly what we have been looking for, for a long long time. And this may not be something we can afford at that moment.
So thanks Nola and Christina for your kindness, your warm hearts melted the hailstones on our backs. God bless you!
