Day 6 – Wednesday
The floor is finished! Yea! A tedious puzzle project, replacing a section of laminate flooring after a leak was frustratingly slow. With perseverance, patience, and more than a little frustration – the project is finally finished. It’s not often that a work team gets to see a project through to completion. It was a special moment. At the end, before they left, Mary asked to have a prayer with the team. It was more than a special moment – it was a holy moment.
The drywall team got to work – some installing, some setting screws that a previous group of volunteers had installed. It’s frustrating when you need to correct someone else’s mistakes – until you remember that someone had to correct your mistakes after the first drywall you installed. . .
We all download the pictures we’ve taken during the day – to one computer. Then we gather around and watch a slide show – remembering the day together. It was hot today, and the work was hard. We were all tired at the end of the day. Ah, but as I write, a game of “Catch Phrase” is organizing. I have a feeling the energy level is on the rise!
Linda DOES look puzzled… but she wasn’t even working on the floor! Congratulations on finishing that project!!
And, YAY Catch Phrase! After being introduced to it last summer by Mike and Gay, I went out and bought it for myself and two friends. It remains my favorite game!
On a more serious note, thank you all for doing this important work on behalf of Old Pine and the whole church. We are grateful!!
“If the only prayer you say in your life is “thank you,” that would suffice.”
