So today was full of eating. The snacks from Erin S., the goodies several of us received from friends or prayer warriors, the amazing lunch David Jacobs sent with us (chicken salad, subs, brownies and fruit. And not to forget the big bag of assorted chips and stuff!), not to mention the snacks acquired when we stopped a couple of times. THEN came the dinner at ACME in the French Quarter followed off by beignets from Café Du Monde. It has been a good day.
Yes, we WILL do some work! I found out late Friday where we will be working so we will do a little breakfast, some devo time, then prayerwalk our construction community. After that we will drive around to see some areas then decide how to tackle the servant evangelism portion of our day. We have found a couple of places we would like to go. The teenage boys are ready to head out to the homeless tent village under the interstate near the Superdome. I told them that we would have to discuss that in the morning. (and probably with the local police mobile station that is right there too…) You have to love their willing hearts to just be nice to folks.
Here is a great story about today. I went to pick up the van and discovered we had no CD player- which means shady random stations. So we stopped at WalMart in Greenville to pick up an adapter for our MP3 and XM players (and eat our amazing lunch in the parking lot). While we were in the store we realized we were waiting on Dalton who ended up behind an older lady in line. We turned around to check on him and he was unloading her buggy onto the conveyor belt. She didn’t ask him, he just offered. He noticed she had some heavy stuff in there and wanted to help I guess. You gotta love the servant hearts of our team. And we were only in GREENVILLE,Alabama! (insert a smile here)
Good things are coming! Thank you for reading and praying. I will include pictures tomorrow!
