We end each day in a circle, sharing a devotion often read from Word for the Day. The reader expands on the devotion offering encouragement and insight from their personal experiences with Jesus.
Reading aloud in front of a group can be daunting and especially so when English is a second language, and you are very much still learning this new tongue. Well done to our international volunteers who courageously tackle the English language in front of a crowd. Living, working and sharing life together is all part of being in community. Learning to both give and receive is part of the process.
There is joy to be found in choosing vulnerability and growth, embracing others, welcoming change and persevering through the tough stuff. For those who are looking, each new day brings much to be thankful for.
