Cherished Day

Yesterday was another great example of what just showing up for what God has for you can do. We arrived at this moms home at Noon. It was in Plano, an hour away, and we had no idea what we were signing up for. All we knew is she had to be packed. After assessing her home, 4 women, 1 man and 8 kids got to work. Our strongest and most important worker was at home with her 3 kids praying all day for us. That is really the only way we got it all done. We packed until 5:30/6pm and got her whole house packed up and ready for a mover.

Here is the real meat of the day, the mom told me that as of two days ago she was so overwhelmed, and hopeless that she was going to walk out the door and leave EVERYTHING behind. None of us who showed up that day knows this mom and she could have never put together what just took place. God orchestrated a might army for her in the deepest trenches she has ever been in and is holding her hand all the way through. (Isaiah 43:1-3, Isaiah 43:18-21) It doesn't seem like much when you think about "packing" for someone else, but when you are saving all that they have left so the bank won't take it, and when you are giving someone a small bit of hope to still go on, I would encourage you to "pack" for someone.

When we left, the kids gave her a "Team Pink", hot pink, super soft blanket. She held my arm, held onto the blanket, stared me right in the eyes and said, " I will cherish this for the rest of my life." What more can I say........

Thank you God for allowing us to be a "packer" for you. You are using us in the most out of the box ways and I love you for that. Please Bless every hand at work on our Team. Please God, be with these moms you are calling us to bless. Amen.
