Strangers and thanks

Ken - Christ UMC

When I went to Lowe's for sandpaper today (Thursday), I met a man who asked me, "You're from out of town, right?"

I said, "Yes, we're from a church group, doing some repairs."

"Thank you," he said.

I was puzzled.

He said, "When we first came back, there was so much to do all we could do was stand around and look. Finally the church groups from up north came. They started cleaning up and working. there's been a whole different attitude around here ever since."

It has been a privilege to be here this week. Folks have been so appreciative.
