THANK YOU – For the past few weeks, the many groups and people who call First Baptist Church home have helped us collect 520 lbs of rice to supportKACS Christmas Baskets.Thank you to Monte Horeb, JAM Daycare, and all the groups that use our facility throughout the week who contributed to the collection.
I am humbled by your generosity. It brings JOY to my heart as together we care for others in our community. I am reminded that alone 500 lbs of rice is a big commitment. When we come together around an idea and work together the big becomes small.
Over the past few weeks I have watched as 520 lbs of rice has been collected a few pounds at a time. Ten pounds here, twenty there. I would walk out from my office and find someone had left two bags in the middle of the day. Nobody did this by themselves. If we had to do it by ourselves we may have given up or never taken on the challenge. Together we accomplished something great.
What is our next “big” project to serve those in need?
“Dan, where do you see God in the midst of all this season?” In the midst of colon cancer! Cancer was not my plan. That was/is not the question. Where in the midst of this journey have you seen God at work? Slowly, very slowly, and sometimes better than others I have begun to wrestle with that question.
