Our Thursdays

We have added working in our church's Friendship Center to our schedule.  It's a way to serve in our church, and serve our community.  It's a wonderful place.  All we had to do was step in and help--the incredible work to get it going was started about four years ago, and it is a well-run labor of love.  The ladies and gentlemen there today knew exactly what our kids (and myself) could do to help.  There was no "Hmmm....let me see.  What could a 14 year old boy or a 5 year old girl do here?"  (Bryan was seen as man-sized and therefore he could do heavy lifting. :)  )

Luci was put to work "stomping boxes."  She helped break down empty boxes from the pantry.  She also played with some of the extras.

JT was put to work loading up bags of groceries.  Today he filled half of the 70 bags that were prepared for Friday morning.

Bryan worked measuring men's slacks, sorting bags, unloading donations and foodstuffs, and hanging clothes.

I am so impressed that all three children worked well and did not complain.  We look forward to Thursdays this year, working with this wonderful ministry.
