April 4th Meeting
We had a great devotional and made a picture frame craft.
This meeting's theme was about overcoming obstacles. The devotional was about joy in struggles and leaning on God so that we are stronger than before. Danielle shared some personal experinces from reading the book of Job. Some of you may be facing down giants right now (sickness, finances, hurts of all kinds) but we have a shelter from the storms of life (Jesus). The trials of this life are fleeting but life with God in paradise, that's eternal!
We also did a picture frame craft.
Notice, though given the same supplies, every frame is different.
FosterCare Packages
MOPs stuffed care packages for kids in the foster care system.
Last meeting, our own Jamie Franks shared how her family got involved in fostering. We all had a lot of questions, as God has placed these kids on our hearts. Two weeks later we got together and stuffed care packages for kids entering the foster care system. Each pack has personal care items like toothpaste and toothbrush, plus snacks and toys.
Thrivent provided a grant to help foster families too, by the starting of a foster closet (not a MOPs project, but one we support through clothing donations). It is a space for foster kids and their families to 'shop' for clothing, toys and necessities, free of charge.
Want to get involved? Drop off items for foster kids with MOPs for the care packages or the foster closet. Check out https://www.4kidsofsfl.org/TreasureCoast_FosterParentTraining to dive deeper.
Mops Valentine Exchange
Creative mammas share the love.
We had a great 'love' themed meeting. We started off with a Valentines exchange. You know, the kind where everyone gets something (not like in high school where gals with BFs get giant teddy bears and others get nothing):). As us mammas passed out valentines, we recalled that God does not give His love to just a select group of people, He lavishes His love upon us all.
We also talked about love. God is love, God loves us, therefore we are able to love other people. One way to show love that comes from God and overflows into in our lives is doing acts of service. As moms we are already are serving a ton, but how about letting our little ones serve with us? We challenged each other to think of ways to let our children be involved in acts of love/service. Deliver flowers to neighbors because it's Tuesday, help stamp letters to shut-ins, give out stickers to people who pass by.
Mops Stuffed Animal Drive
Often times cops will have scared little kids on the scene and these animals are sure to provide a little comfort.
