Saturday was exhausting but good

In the midst of all the celebration and ending of the school year, we were busy at the church moving out of the warehouse. We started early, but were a little short on help because Joe and his friends who had been helping, were now busy with parties, family and friends. It left me, Donna Warrington and Steve and Paula McMullen to do the work. But thats where my family comes in. My sister called me early to verify the time of Joe's graduation party which was to be at 4:00. She asked if there was anything they could do and I said how about bringing my three strong nephews down early and help me. They arrived at lunchtime and gave us 2-3 hours of productive work. My sisters also pitched in and were a great encouragement to me. In the mean time, my dad had Ben and Rayanne cleaning up our yard and house getting it ready for the party. What a blessing to have family that loves and cares and willing to work and sacrifice for each other. It's the same way a church ought to operate. We quit around 3:30 to get ready for the 4:00 party and we made it. The rest of family and friends showed up and it was a great party. Pattie did a great job with food and hospitality. That evening, we were wiped out but very satisfied with the day.
