We have all been created by God to do good works that He prepared in advance for us to do. Today, for me, in 12 hours, included inventorying and organizing 7 tractor trailers, helping prepare thousands of meals, shuffling and repacking a 100 or so pallets of food, and getting 1 splinter. For others it was a day of clearing out mud, chopping up fallen trees, late night showers, and leading people to Christ. At this last point, the person said that seeing 3 led to The Lord "made the whole trip worth it" for him.
It was a great reminder that attitude helps make a difference in what we do. Certainly, being out amongst the people getting to help as a direct point of contact and sharing the gospel is more exhillerating and I hope to get to some of that next week. But in its own way, so is helping behind the scenes. What makes a difference is if you consider what you do is really for an audience of One. May we be creations that are pleasing to Christ.

Though, the behind the scenes stuff-- allows you to pray over everything you touch and that those that come in contact with these things can be touched by Christ as you have been. Big blessing, Jason. Thank you for being His hands in this situation!
