Work day! Today we got to help the Sumners paint the tables at the soup kitchen. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun to sand down all the tables and paint them in bright colors such as green, blue, orange, red, and yellow. Everyone was tired afterwards, but it was great to be able to help in this area of ministry.
As we were painting the tables, a couple of the kids came over. We played a couple games with them and had some fun! The kids here are a blast to hang out with. Even if they can’t talk to you, they love being with you. Many of the kids come from homes where the only attention they receive is when they do something wrong, so being able to show these kids some good attention and love is a blessing not just to them, but to us also. They were all so excited about the tables! Each one was picking out the table they wanted to sit at next Saturday.
We’re tired, but it’s a good kind of tired. There is something about working that gives you a sense of accomplishment. We’re looking forward to a great work day tomorrow!
