Tuesday

Cement day has always been my favorite day. (Wheelchair distribution is now vying for the top spot.) I don’t know if it is the digging in the dirt or the permanence of the concrete. This is the rainy season and the dirt is rich.

Noah and I are on the same team and we learned a very important lesson. We are imperfect!! Noah is imperfect because he “accidentally” spilled a bucket load of water/cement on my back. I struggled with the fact that my cement slab did not look as good as it would have if Craig had done it. Noah locked onto the word imperfect (meaning the slab) and later laughingly we both agreed that we were imperfect, it lightened the situation and made it fun and silly.  But giving it further, more serious thought, it made it okay. I am not perfect. That is an important thing to keep in mind. This is not about my ability to lay a perfect slab. It is about following God’s command to love others. I am so thankful for the opportunity to do just that.
