Saturday we had a community outreach for a woman who's husband died in November from cancer. As winter has hit she has realized just how much she did around the house-even little things like place a lighbulb by a pipe so it wouldn't freeze overnight. She's also raising a 9 yr old son who has now had to change schools due to transportation and fianances.
We raked and burned leaves (guess that's not illegal in Texas!), cleaned out a garage and shed, put together an entertainment system, and other odd things. Things that would have taken her months, took the 18 or so of us 5 hours.
I know that she was blessed, but I also know we were blessed in being able to help her. I was able to speak to her about the death of her husband and his being on hospice - and gave an opportunity to tutor her son during this crazy time.
So be blessed! Enjoy the day :) Tell the people around you that you love them.
Blessings,
Kelley <><

It's only illegal in SD in town! What a great opportunity - when do you find out about your outreach?
ReplyDeleteWe should find out about our stateside and international outreach tomorrow. But then again, I've been heard that a couple of times. So I'll let you know when I know :)
