Today's activities included 'rebarking' (for lack of a better term) the playgrounds, pruning rose plants in front of the church (and other gardening) and painting a building that the church rents out to a local art center. The kids got right in there and worked. They worked with Grandma, they worked with Grandpa and they worked with other church members.
I think it's great that the other members were willing participants and accepting of the 'help' that my children (who were by far the youngest workers there) offered. THANK YOU! I understand COMPLETELY how quickly that 'help' can turn disastrous.
Both kids worked SO hard and they ENJOY doing the work. I wonder what the chances are that they'll still be so willing when they're 16....

oh, i know what you mean ... but with luck, work, tolerance, prayers, and determination from all of us, they will be working just as hard (or almost, anyway) when they are 16! that's MY goal, anyway. XOUMgm
