The Farmside 1 women's cell group enjoys each other. They met at our house recently, and we got to welcome a new baby. The mama is sitting at the far right. She delivered the new little boy alone at her house. She could have delivered at our clinic with the help of a nurse for US $8, but maybe she didn't feel like walking over there while she was in labor with her third baby.
At this meeting, we sang some Christian songs, had a brief devotional that I led on Psalm 103, had a discussion about upcoming events for women's ministry, and had snacks together. It was fascinating to see that each woman had brought a little something for the baby. No one had asked us to bring them. But quietly, unobtrusively, each woman tucked a little bar of soap, some cloth diapers or some other small gift into the bilum, handmade purse, of the new mother. They're a caring group.
