Surprise Donation Enables Threads of Promise Sewing Program to Expand

It came at the perfect time.  An anonymous donation designated to the sewing program in Guatemala.  It was a surprise and a great encouragement at a time when things felt a little overwhelming.  It came on my (Lisa's) birthday, no less.  Psalm 37 Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 2  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. 3  Trust in the Lord , and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4  Delight yourself also in the Lord , And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5  Commit your way to the Lord , Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. 6  He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday. You can read the rest here.    While it feels as if everyone connected to Caroline's Promise is focused on construction of the new building, God still had Threads of Promise on his heart.  And He obviously put it on
