Tasty Tuesday.....Friends


This week we have been especially blessed to have a work crew here from our home church in Savannah. There are 11 in the crew and all of them hard workers. What fun it has been to see so much work accomplish in such little time.

Some of these people have been friends for a long time. Some are brand new friends. Friday we loaded a clothing container and sent out about 30,000 pounds of clothing. Saturday we sorted medical linens and repacked the trailer after taking an inventory of what we still have.

Yesterday, more sorting, boxing, and carrying things out of the building. This is hardly glamorous work but no one has complained despite the hot temperatures and the hard physical labor.

Today is their last day here and I'm really going to miss their smiles, energy, and servant's heart.

See Lazy Daisy I just could not do that. I would be exhausted and be in worse shape than before I came. I would love to help you but I know what I would be like later on...a mess and in tears probably. I would feel like a fool watching everyone else work. I am so happy though that people with strong backs can come and help you two and the others that work there. that is wonderful..God so blesses you!!
