The program for day two of the conference was full - we had a devotion, three workshops, cooking and blanket making. After dinner we had movie and popcorn.
Mary spoke gently, yet truthfully on domestic abuse issues. Heidi gave a transparent and practical talk on alcoholism and how the women can deal with the alcoholics in their lives. The women were very receptive and there was great discussion and interaction. The women really appreciated their perspectives.
Karen, one of the Action Zambia missionaries spoke on "What is a Better Life?" based on Proverbs. Aspects that make a better life include: fear of The Lord, wisdom, integrity, a good name, and......vegetables? A bowl of chocolates and a bowl of cucumbers were passed around and each woman was asked to choose which one they wanted. Not surprisingly all chose a chocolate. Then we read Proverbs 15:17 "Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred." It was a very encouraging message to these women who have an abundance of love and other valuable characteristics, but few material possessions or resources.
And they loved the chocolate.
