The W.I., Christianity and helping people
I am a Christian – but you probably guessed that fact, right? And, while it’s true that I love Jesus, I also love going out with friends (not all of whom are religious) and partying.
That said, one of the things I really do look forward to now is going to the W.I. If you didn’t know, W.I. stands for Women’s Institute, and although I am not a woman – that I am aware of – I really enjoy going to help out. Why? Because I know that when I am there I am really making a difference!
whatever happens I’ll always go to the W.I. And help out – at least for as long as I can, until I get married…if I can find any woman to put up with me, that is…
The W.I. Is a bit of an odd place…mainly because it’s just full of women. I am one of the few men who go there, so every time I do I get to enter into a secret world which very few Christian men see! One of the best things we do is organising all the old clothing to be sent to Africa. We get pretty much anything we can find, and some of the ladies even take the Lining Fabrics out of old curtains and make dresses out of it. It’s pretty amazing to know that God’s work is helping so much. Every time I come away from there I feel completely inspired.
Of course, one problem is that I do sometimes run out of things to say…it’s unavoidable…me being so much younger than most of the women there. While they sit about and nit and natter, I generally just go through the bags with my ear-phones in. That said, there is one woman there who is hilarious. Her name is Mazy and she’s always been there, if you know what I mean.
Every village probably has a Mazy. Mazy is kind and loyal and has everything in her hand-bag at all times. Basically she is the village saint and everyone knows her and she knows everyone. She’s also one of those women who you see who is really stooped with a bad back. But she never lets it get her down, and she has only ever missed one W.I. session and that was because she was “on her death bed” as she told us when she got back.
So, whatever happens I’ll always go to the W.I. And help out – at least for as long as I can, until I get married…if I can find any woman to put up with me, that is. That remains to be seen!
