A Few Extra Thursday Details


This is our final workday on the Mississippi Gulf Coast doing God’s work in two locations, yesterday was a great day for our team. Spending a glorious day under the leadership of Brad and Paul from Habitat for Humanity, the entire team spent the day together in Pascagoula on the new home build.

One of our team members, riding the Daybreak Church wave, said “on this trip we are one team serving in two locations!” And we’ve embraced the separate sites. But, honestly, it was sweet spending a sun splashed day together doing God’s work as one team.

We were introduced to Glenn and his two sons. A Daybreak team helped re-build Glenn’s house in 2008, and still four years later you see the genuine gratitude dripping off him. It helped show our team yet again how building homes is just the vehicle driving the relationship train.

Glenn’s oldest son, Kevin, told us “If you want genuine Mississippi Gulf Coast hospitality on a plate, go to The Shed.” So our team went to the barbeque shack last night.

Most of the male members went with The Sampler – one brave sole tackled the Jumbo Sampler. It was six meats and three side dishes. How can you possibly share a Sampler?? Let’s just say “audible eating” (lots of hmmmm’s and groans) was the order of the night for the male team members.

As we get ready for our final workday, our somewhat lack of youth in our team is pretty evident. Lots of moaning, Advil and Tums.

But today is New Day and Let Us Rejoice In It. One team at two locations doing God’s work. Our prayer this morning was to make today a new beginning. Amen.
