The day’s work was strenuous and we went home with a feeling of accomplishment, as we all worked together to complete the mission of the day. When Alyssa had to leave to pick up her children from daycare, about half the group returned to our local home. A group did stay to do some additional work, and Alec volunteered to stay with that group to continue working on the first floor sheetrock. He showed true dedication and incredible work ethic!
There was silence on the ride home at the end of the day. God blessed us with the ability to complete our efforts together as one, surrounding us with the people needed to do our part, truly touching the lives of others by spreading kindness and love as we walk the path God has put before with the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
Thank you, Kirsten, for sharing your observations of the day!
Just a slightly different perspective of the day and why we didn’t quite do everything we had hoped to do…
First, Jay got into multiple arguments with sheetrock, and it never dawned on him that the sheetrock always won the arguments.
