Community Impact-May 31,2008

Nancy, I wanted to give my input on Saturday. It was a glorious day, I was at the Family in Tamarac who has been out of there home since Hurricane Wilma our team was a great team I praise all of you, we helped paint the inside of her Condo, I stained a closet door and painted a wall the color she wanted (green) thus I have never painted before so I was challenged by this task and the job was well done. We were able to get her whole condo painted and fixtures were put up in both bathrooms and her screen door needed to be put on in the back porch,also another group neighbors helping neighbors were there and they had told the owner that she need to feed us(which she could not afford) leaving to go get us something to eat I felt that wasn't right we were there to serve God and didn't expect anything in return, she felt she needed to go because the other group leader said she needed to get us food, I was not able to stop her at that point, I spoke with John and let him know the situation and he spoke with our team leader Jack and we called her on her cell phone and I spoke with her and told her our Church wants her to turn around and come back that we wanted her to use the money on her daughter and herself or anything else she needed for her home, not on us so she came back. It made me feel good about our fellow members of our community to do Gods work out of the goodness of our hearts and we all agreed on the situation. God Bless you all for making a great Saturday and helping with all your hearts in our community. That's what it's all about!
Jesus' Heart in Mine,
Sue
