Both Hands Project: Part 2 What YOUR hands did

Saturday was a beautiful day and it was long day.  30+ volunteers showed up to serve Mrs. Margaret! We all gathered at 9:00am and started the day with prayer.  It was amazing to look around the circle of men, women, and children who were there all united for one cause...to live out James 1:27.  Maybe half the people there I met for the first time that day! But everyone worked together and served together like they had always known each other.  A smile was on everyone's face!

The team got right to work! We fixed the fence, trimmed trees, did yard work, cleaned up the back garden.  We were pressure washing and weed eating.
We washed windows, stained the ramp, painted doors, finished trim work, changed light fixtures, fixed walls, painted walls, swept floors. The kids washed the car.

It was a big day.  It was a beautiful day.

It was hard work but it was totally worth it!  I don't think there is one person that was there that day that didn't enjoy it.

Mrs. Margaret couldn't believe how much we were able to accomplish!  And the giving isn't over!  On Thursday, her doorway will be cut.  We will also be able to order her top kitchen cabinets this week.

My family would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to help!  We would love to hear some of your thoughts about the day.

These volunteers were completely amazing and I feel blessed to know them and have worked alongside them.

Thank you to
