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.
