- 8/19/2007 3:22:31 PMAwesome SundayWe arrived early to church this morning. It is my month to run the sound booth so we came in around 8:30 to make sure everything was working correctly. We had some musical guests today so I didn't have any prep work to do as they are taking care of their own sound. I decided to go out and visit with other members of our church family. No sooner had I stepped out when I was met by a young boy named Aaron. Aaron handed me an envelope.
It seems Aaron and his family had been saving and collecting cans to recycle and turned them in for cash so they could donate towards the adoption. Even when I am not thinking about the adoption, it is on the hearts and minds of many other people. They are stirred to action by the Holy Spirit.
James 1:22 says, "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
It was around this time that I began to feel the blood rush into my face and my eyes began to water. This is yet another example of how people are willing to put their hands to the plow and commit to doing God's work.
Another family has taken it upon themselves to run a lemonade stand. They have been open for business at several locations including the public beach across the street from church. Just like the story above, We have had no intervention with this plan. It was conceived entirely by them and they have taken it upon themselves to make this happen. I hope to have pictures of their stand very soon. (Jean, if you're reading this, please know that I am working hard on practicing patience and the Lord is working on my pride).
I will not mention the name of either family but they know who they are and so does the Lord. Thank you very much for your all of your efforts and kind donations. These kinds of things do not go unnoticed and you are building up treasurers in heaven. I can't wait to introduce you to my new son.
