Every Fall, our church organizes a service event called "Carefest." Many churches have something similar. It's where lots of people sign up and sort of swarm on the town -- helping schools, parks, missions, and other not-for-profits accomplish projects that they never could on their own.Brian started taking Samantha when she was just 3. This year, they ended up at the Hannah House together. Hannah House is a comprehensive residential program for pregnant women and teenagers. There was work to do inside and out.
Our friend Mark found us at church a couple of Sundays ago and told this story:
Somehow I ended up outside with a handful of little people. (They do tend to flock to him.) The kids, including Sam, were spreading out mulch and working in the flower beds. At one point, one of the little girls asked, "Why are we doing all this anyway?"
There was no one around to impress or to prompt a good response.
Sammie replied, "We are showing people that Jesus loves them."
Amen and Amen.
Sure am proud of you, Sammie G.
