Value and confidence is one area in which many women lack wherever you may live. I want the women here to know they are special, that they are beautiful and full of value.
For our story at sewing class, our desire was to share with the women that the Lord has given each of us a purpose in life along with unique gifts. I wanted to give them something tangible to remember with this message.
My teammate had the idea to buy them each a mirror, write a verse on them, and give them to the women. We decorated the small mirrors with their names, the words "you are beautiful", and Ephesians 2:10 which says, "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."
We tried to explain through stories that they have a purpose and God has made them specially to fulfill these things.
They were really grateful, and I hope they treasure these mirrors forever and that they feel valued. I know I am only one of the many that comes here to work with them, but it is awesome to think that all our efforts put together make a difference in their life.
