Lifesong for Orphans has a special project called "Both Hands," where a widow or widower is chosen. The woman whose home we worked at was able to have time to think about what kinds of things she would like done.
The adults and youth pictured all gave or sent out letters to friends, family, teachers and coaches asking to be sponsored for this work project. Any funds raised would go to help bring a child into a forever home from Haiti.
We had a wonderful day! This day was shown to be full of rain all week until Saturday actually came. It was warm and sunny. Bushes and trees were trimmed down, weeds pulled, grass mowed, windows washed and lots of cotton from those beloved cottonwood trees (lol) raked, swept and bagged up. Organization of materials kept in and around the yard was also done. We didn't count the number of bundles of bound branches that were carried to the alley but it was A LOT!
No matter how much money comes in to assist with adoption costs, it was an absolute blessing serving and working with every person pictured. It is a wonderful thing when the body of Christ comes together to get some work done....I have many more pictures but the uploading is taking too long right now, so I'll add them another time! Thank you to everyone who helped!!!!
Keep praying!!!!
