Helping and being helped.

 Last weekend at church was the weekend for the delivery of Boxes of Love. They are boxes filled with food that we deliver to families and use that time to make personal contact with them, we want to show the love of Christ. Last year we helped put a box together and then deliver it, this year we decided to just help set up the room and "wrap" the boxes with Christmas paper. It was actually a fun time of fellowship with another couple from our care group. I forgot my camera so Gabriella took these pictures with her phone.

Measuring out lots of paper.

Hmmm.

Mike (Margaret) & Don DeMasters. Not sure what we are contemplating but it sure was serious!

More talking.

Not sure what we are talking about.

I know it looks like all we did was talk but we really did wrap lots of boxes...guess Gabriella was too busy wrapping to get those pictures until we stopped to talk! There were lots of people and lots of boxes, little did we know that we would be recipients of one.  We are learning to humbly accept help because we know it is done in love and the young people who delivered the box the next day were blessed as much as we were.  We continue to find ways to do God's work in our own little way!
