Police Target Women on Streets of Tirgu Mures

Last Sunday, March 8, we were in downtown Tirgu Mures, Romanian. 
We noticed the police were only stopping cars with women drivers. 
What they did, 
once they had stopped the women, 
was truly extraordinary. 

They gave them 
flowers and a gift bag. 
March 8 is International Women's Day.* The drivers stopped looking worried and drove away looking pleasantly surprised.

The 8th of April is also an International Day--of the Romany. Our team celebrates this each year by putting together a week-long prayer guide. A new post with prayer requests will appear each day, April 5-11. Feel free to pray--or use the prayer guide--all year round. 
(By the way, most women like to get flowers all year round, too.)



*In former communist-block countries, this is emphasized even more than Mother's Day. Since every woman is a woman (but not every one happens to be a mother), this strikes me as not such a bad idea.
