The exterminator, plumber, building superintendent, chaperon and about 85 teens popped in at 3G this morning. Of course you realize that I am exaggerating the number of the teens, there couldn't have been more than 80.
By the way, all three men where several days late. And they each came separately but 30 minutes of the other. And all arrive at the exact time the teens were doing God's working in 3G.
After the bugs were sent packing, two leaks were fixed, another leak discovered and then magically disappered, the teens divided into working groups. One trekked into the neighborhood dragging furniture from one apartment to ours, 10 blocks away. The second group stayed and began to scrub--everything. And planned an impromptu wedding after designing a lovely bridal vail from shelf paper remnants. The bride was lovely, we have pictures to prove it. The dress, that's another story.
The kids next task was to join forces on the street to pick up trash around the neighborhood. Once complete all were to return for back packs, lunch and to strike out for their next assignments.
Being Christ reflectors is the happiest lifestyle possible, just ask these people. They are here because they want to be. And they are doing the dirtiest, smelliest, unbelivable tasks for people they don't know--who really don't care, yet.
Their actions, smiles and happiness can not be forgotten. They are but a raindrop in the ocean. It's indentation never goes away but effects the entire ocean body. God may use that rain drop to turn a wave into a tsunami, or a piece of water that carves an ocean cave that one day may save a drowning man, or that single rain drop will be the single bit of oxygen that the next fish needs to live. No matter God's purpose, it is our purpose to let Him.
Thanks kids for living your all.
