"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:13-16
The theme for this year's tea was "The Domino Effect" and we focused on how we as Christian mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, friends, and community members can positively affect others around us. Our two speakers for the morning were husbands of Northbrook MOPS members and they shared with our group how MOPS has impacted their wives, marriages, children, families, etc. We also watched a brief video of our children sharing what MOPS means to them and their favorite part about coming to MOPS. So cute! We heard an inspirational "reading" about how the little things we do everyday mean a LOT to our children.
We ended our time together with the "Cardboard Stories" of our steering team. The members of the steering team got "real" with us and shared how God has worked and is working in their lives. It was a moving and powerful experience for all in the room!
