What an awesome day!
The people of Harmony Bible church out-did themselves. Over 50 families came to enjoy a day of fun, laughter, good eats and great music. At the end of a long winter and in the midst of economic difficulties that's a WONDERFUL thing!
I can't hope to say "thanks" to every single person that had a part in this event. Although I have begun thanking everyone I can. That started with the seniors of HBC. These folks gave it their all! No doubt they left that place in pain. Sitting on steel chairs with no padding, or standing on the hardwood floor for hours will tax the most fit. And these folks endured it for the sake of reaching out to people with the love of Jesus.
And then there is the teenagers. I continue to be amazed at how the youth of America are so responsive to opportunities to help others. It was not that way when I was a teen. Truthfully, we were WAY too selfish for that! But what I'm seeing these days is a beautiful thing.
We never know the full extent of such efforts. Sometimes we see new faces at church functions, but I'm convinced most of the results are less obvious than that. At the very least, this kind of reaching out communicates to people of the community that we care. Frankly, some people don't know how to respond to that. They just know how it makes them feel. AND IT FEELS GOOD!
