God's Plan

Remember the A Team? At the end of the show the leader always said "I love it when a plan comes together." This week I saw God's plan come together through the work of 70 young men and women. My project was across the street from another one so our crews blended together. When we weren't working on our houses, the kids were helping the other neighbors. The first day we arrived, we needed electricity. We knocked on the neighbors door to see if we could use her outside outlet. She was reluctant to help because she was a single woman with a sister, daughter and grandchild living with her. The kids thanked her for her time and we went about our business. About an hour later she came out with her grandson. Our kids started talking with the woman and explaining to her what we were doing. They also played with her grandson. Pretty soon she told us we could use her water. The kids wanted to do something for her. On a slow day, they asked if they could mow her lawn. She didn't have gas. So the kids took her gas can, bought gas and oil and got the mower running. She started crying saying that no one ever offered to help her like that. By the end of the day, the kids had mowed 6 yards in the neighborhood. We didn't come here to mow the neighborhood lawns or work on Tanya's house, but God had other plans. These kids loved God by loving their neighbors.
