Our church took on the challenge to provide two sets of uniforms to 135 students in North Galveston County who did not have uniforms for school. Last year we provided uniforms to 50 kids, and the challenge of 135 was a shock at first. But, as usual, God provided. Not only were the members of Living Word generous with their shopping and financial gifts, but people of the community responded with such open arms. So this morning, we loaded up the girls and went to Lighthouse Christian Ministries to pass out uniforms. It was a very educational experience for them. Most of the parents of the children do not speak any English. The children are translating so the parents can understand. Although we have spent time serving at LCM before, and have spent time with Katrina evacuees, it is still shocking to see the need of some people right at our back door.
Father, show me how to raise children who know that we are here to help those who have less. We are so thankful for the blessings you poor out on each of us. Thank you for taking our talents and adding your "super" to our "natural" causing us to experience things we never though possible. Continue to bless us Father so that we can bless others! Amen!!!!
