What will this week bring? We have many roofs that need attention in the area. We hope to work on one in Rangeley this week. The elderly gentleman who owns the home will be much warmer and DRYER if we can get this work done. Please pray for sunshine this week, we do not need more rain right now. If we are to complete all the roofing that is needed, we will need the rest of the season to be warm and dry.
We are also working on the Back to School program. So far we have about 100 applications and more are coming in each day. We expect to have between 140-150 applications in all. That means that we will really need a lot of churches and individuals to step forward with donations. We will need funds to purchase new sneakers, also we need new underwear for all the students. Remember, the boys prefer boxers. We also need a three ring binder for each student. Some schools are requesting one for each subject. I was able to purchase a 1 inch binder at Wal-mart for $1.27 last week. Some of the office supply stores are having sales right now as well. As always, we need backpacks, crayons, markers, notebook paper, pens, pencils, erasers, school scissors, glue sticks, boxes of tissues (for the classroom), rulers, etc. etc.
Every time I shop for school supplies the smell of crayons takes me back to being 6 years old and getting my box of 48 crayons for first grade. Just the smell of crayons makes all of us little children again ..... Jesus said, "Let the children come to me....." I think Jesus knew that in each of us there is still a child. When we come to Jesus as a child, we come with a special trust that He will love us --- just as we are --- and then lead us to where He wants us to be. So smell the crayons and be a child again, it is good for the soul.
Later --- gator, after while --- crockodile, toodle loo --- kangaroo,
(the morning good-bye for our daughter for all her school years, and sometimes even now)
