I am the vine; you are the branches” (John 15:5). Theme: I in you.
Today was a wonderful “break-through” day for the entire group. Everyone was singing beautifully in the morning and sharing during evening devotion. Examining Christ’s suffering and sacrifice for us, we agreed that His death on the cross was both a tragedy and a blessing. We have developed a personal relationship with Christ and sharing our story is how we can reach out to others.
Tudie’s crew has made amazing progress and worked on several things today: trimming trees, spreading mulch, organizing and cleaning a bedroom, and sorting tools in the garage. We were blessed to shared devotion time with the entire family today and Ffej was blessed to hold baby “Bubba” our entire lunch time. Many God Sightings today were shared. One in particular was a cross being found in a dirty, dusty toolbox that reminded Jeff (our resident) that God is still with him even though his wife had just lost her job the day before.
Lindy and Mark’s group were able to finish scraping paint and getting two sides of the house paint before an afternoon thunderstorm. The thunder and lightning was a reminder of God’s power and beauty. Their resident Ginny brought everyone pink lemonade and the group agreed this was definitely a God sighting. Marney, Autumn, and Channing enjoyed visiting with Ginny’s 8 year-old granddaughter who was visiting. Connor and Izaiah had fun spraying foam around Ginny's house to keep the wasps out. Connor found an old wasp nest shaped like a heart and has been carrying it around ever since. The group is looking forward to finishing-up painting on Thursday.
