December in Colorado, shoveling snow and scraping ice off the windshield, or December in Georgia, raking leaves and scraping a thin layer of frost off the windshield. Right now, I'm grateful for the aching arms and the Georgia situation. We are collecting leaves on a 25 acre property, and it could have been collecting leaves on 660+ acres at The Great Passion Play In Arkansas. If it seems bad, things could always be worse. Ron and I are tired from two days of leaf gathering, and there is still some work left for tomorrow to complete the task and have the Source of Light property "lookin' good".
We all bring our life experiences to the mix of personalities here at SLMI and it is interesting to see how they blend into a work force which can face the "opportunities" or "problems" and bring them to resolution. It fascinates me to see God bring the right person for the right task and in the process teach a city boy how to operate farm equipment and do tasks which we were accustomed to hiring someone else to do. And, it really isn't rocket science. Funny that a few weeks ago at church we met a man who is an actual rocket scientist with NASA. God does have a sense of humor.
The work day is winding down. I took off a little early to rest my half empty arms and let my half full fingers get some exercise on this blog. It has been a good day, our efforts here are appreciated and we feel that we are helping to do the work God has ordained for us at this ministry. We're learning that we are where we are for a reason, we are called to minister in a variety of ways and that we need to see challenges as opportunities, each day as a chance to learn something new, meet a new friend or turn over a new leaf, even if there are 25 acres of them.
