Community Service

I am so proud of these kids. Under dad's direction they formed an assembly line to make sandwiches to feed the Habitat for Humanity student volunteers.
Originally, Eli was on cheese but he found it too tempting. He would fold it, break it, and occasionally take a nibble of a slice. So he was put on bread.

Chapel did well on cheese - resisting the urge to eat !

And so we took all 40 sandwiches, drinks, nutri-grain bars and chips to feed the University of Kentucky student volunteers who devoted their Spring Break to building a Habitat of Humanity House on Johns Island.
And on Johns Island, this entire community is devoted to building Habitat homes.
And each new home owner puts in their own sweat equity to help another family own their own home.
In the wise words of my husband - making sandwiches is the easy part. Building homes is the hard part....
And the volunteers were so gracious and sweet. They all signed a card which read:
Thank you for providing lunch for us today! We appreciate your willingness to make and come bring us food. Because of you, we have the strength to continue our mission today.

Amen. Community Service makes us all feel good and realize what it is all about!
