Mission Minded

This past week provided us with a great opportunity to help those in the community who were affected by the high winds Wednesday night. Trees were down, limbs and branches were everywhere. It was a mess. Much to my delight several guys from the church saw fit to give of their time on Thursday to help remove limbs off of roofs, vehicles, and from yards and streets. It was a great day and people of the community were extremely appreciative. We did not do it for money, nor did we do it for recognition. However, people take notice when they receive unexpected help with no strings attached. (Reminds me of grace)
Sunday I mentioned that it seems silly to fly over the mission field to get to the mission field. The mission field was right here in town on Thursday (as it is every day). Thanks to Greg, Shad, Antonio, Gabe, and Josh for your labor of love. Mission accomplished - at least for one day.
