OCC Workday – One week from today

If you are interested in working a few hours before next Saturday, please let me know. There is always something that needs to be done.

OCC – Thank you to the donor who again sent money to help with our shoebox needs. You have no idea how quickly I smiled when I saw your envelope yesterday. Your faithfulness is so appreciated! May God bless you for helping get shoeboxes to little children around the world. May the message of JESUS reach and stir each heart.

Pray for our schools today.

I clearly remember the smiles and happy greeting from the cafeteria workers during my elementary years and my high school years. Does that mean they were not tired or carrying personal burdens? No, it meant they smiled and always had a kind and friendly greeting for me (and for all the other students).

Today, let’s pray for the cafeteria workers. They have a special talent to “smile and be kind despite their personal problems“.They may not know what happens with each child in the classroom or at home, but can make a difference in lives as they place food on plates while smiling and giving a happy greeting.

Think about this. One drop of water doesn’t seem like much, but a glass of water contains lots of individual drops. So does a lake or ocean. Each drop counts. Your “drops” might be smiles, kind words, time, money, etc. Make your “drops” count today.
