Block Saw Team

 

We are excited to have met these two gentlemen this week.  Thank you Teddy and Ronnie for cutting and measuring each "special" block which helped this house become a home.  Every job on this project is up most importance.  Every person finds their job and these two gentlemen did an amazing job working together to get this one project completed.  They each brought a lot of gifts and talents to this team this year.  Each evening we do devotionals and God moments. 

Teddy's devotional was "How God Answers Prayers".  He did an amazing job of how we should rely on  for everything.  We need to be more specific in our prayers just like he and Ronnie had to be very specific in measuring each block so it would fit just right.  We need to give God details about our concerns and our thankfulness to HIM.  Teddy shared several scripture references to help us all during different times in our lives. 

Psalm 27 is a good one for praying during hard times.

Psalm 23 is a comforting prayer.

Matthew 5:3  is one of blessing when we are at the end of our rope. 

We need to let go and let God.

"Less of us and more of God"

When we pray, pray for God's will and let it go.

Ronnie on the last evening rocked every one's world as he shared a little something about every one on his team.  After he shared about each person he simply said, "Remember whose you are." This was an emotional time for all of us.  The team watched throughout the week as Ronnie pulled out his paper and diligently writing notes.  By the time it came for Ronnie to share he had pages of positive and encouraging words about each of his team members.  What a beautiful way to end the week of hard work and dedication, to be praised by one of their own and to be reminded of whose we are.  All God's children said , "AMEN".

 

As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
James 5:11
