Yesterday we learned a lesson in grace.

21 Adults and 8 kids descending upon our home on Saturday morning armed with:

  • utes, trailers, wheelbarrows, spades, rakes, brooms, secaters, pruning saws, pressure sprayers.....
  • scones, cakes, fruit, nuts, water, tea, coffee....
  • willing hearts, broad smiles, eager intentions, (almost) boundless energy, God-given joy....
  • a desire to bless us by meeting a practical need in a very profund and special way......

Result?

  • Over 70 'person hours' of work lavished on our garden in one morning
  • Three cars washed inside and out
  • A garden that is almost unrecognisable and is an absolute joy behold (Sue smiles every time she looks at it!)
  • Shared morning tea and BBQ lunch
  • Relationships enjoyed and strengthened
  • Prayer
  • Powerful lessons learned about the profound ministry of accepting, as well as giving, acts of loving service

Deep and abiding thanks for the gift of grace lavished upon is by:

Sue, Ricky, Kitty, Cos, Sue, Mal, Sam, Barbara, Caleb, David, Kathleen, Angela, Beverley, Chris, Andrew, Cawood, Phoebe, Joshua, Zoe, Noah, Thomas, Allee, Lauren, Daniel, Emily, Jackson, Liam, George and Mitchell.
