“I am the vine; you are the branches” (John 15:5). Theme: Remain in me.
On day one we learned what it means to be “the branches” molded in the image of God and wonderfully made. Today we concentrated on what it means to “remain in Him” We talked about and practiced being still (Psalm 46:10). Waiting for God to answer our prayers is a faith process, which can sometimes be painful. However, we know God will not abandon us.
We only had a half day of work today. Lindy and Mark’s crew helped a resident named Ginny scrape paint and caulk. Trudie’s group was blessed to have Ffej’s help today to move some larger car parts and a motorcycle. The group also pulled more weeds – 5 feet tall! They sure grow them big in Colorado! Everyone’s favorite thing is to watch the baby while his dad helps us.
After showers, we made our way to Estes Park for some free time. We spent a few hours browsing all of the little shops along the street. Some of our favorites were the rock shop and the old-time candy store. We had dinner at a sculpture park in Loveland. The park was full of many interesting bronze sculptures and we all had a blast walking around and taking pictures. We ended our great day with devotion time and communion.
God Sightings were shared today and our main theme seems to be hearts – a reminder of God’s great love for us all.
