Blessed to be in their company today...
Andrew. A 9th grader who served eagerly all day. He became a leader for three 6th grade boys. He did any job I asked him to do. He helped me set up the merchandise and ran around in our warehouse for hours. Most notable to me was that when he saw something that needed to be done, he did it himself. A real servant. An eager and happy servant, on his feet all day long.
Jerry. A man who came and helped all morning. At a lull in the morning, he took drink orders for Duncan Donuts. Anything you want, just name it. Such a cheerful giver. Went out of his way to bless us. And he wore a hairnet all the way there and back!
Julie. Ready for college, her gifts are evident already. Detail-oriented. A planner. Sees how the little things contribute to the overall success of an event. I could see her strengths before I even knew her name. The best part: she played a major part in getting this event going. She pushed for things to get done. And because of that, she thought it was only right that she be at the event the entire time to serve. Leading by example. Her glamorous jobs of the day: scooping supplies out of a large, dusty bin and taking out the trash. All ... day... long...
Carolyn: A mother of two whose focus has shifted from the business world to the mission world. She focuses on her daughters and on serving the Lord. Another one who was there all day, doing whatever I asked. She eagerly took lunch orders, offering to stop at as many places as we wanted. She was a smiling face making sure that all was well, all was taken care of, all were enjoying themselves. A real pleasure to work with.
