Monday was a great but tiring day. It has been a few years since I have torn shingles off of a roof. We had 9 college students and myself all working on the same project from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm in the El Paso sun and they did awesome.
It was so inspiring to see students who have dedicated a week of their lives to serving Christ and serving others. The work they did was extremely strenuous but I never heard a single complaint. I was pleased with their desire to work and serve. Today we get to put the new shingles on the roof – less strenuous but still very tiring. I have to say, I am looking forward to spending the day with my new heros.
I have two requests for you. One is that you pray for these students today – for their safety and for sensitivity to all the opportunities God will provide for them to make a difference in the lives of others. Second, I encourage you to consider the passion these students are showing this week and let some of that rub off on you – seek out opportunities today to make a difference in the life of someone else.
Be blessed today and be a blessing as well.
