The birth of a helping hand

I am a flower who has been
Planted in shadowed sand
Slowly growing
And knowing
There was more for me.

To reach for light
With my own might
Never trying
Slowly dying
Until I called on thee

You banned my shadows
And gave me meadows
Mighty to Save
Beautiful Day
Blooming for all to see

Today I called the Hands in Service organization to see if there was a way the Fellowship could help. Turns out, during the summer they have lists of people who call them to request lawn care services. They have various other ways people can help too, such as grocery shopping for seniors, helping with housework etc.

I'm really excited at the way God has been moving in my life and in those in the group around me. I have felt his joy abound in my heart as we've set out to do these things for others.

I'm praying for guidance for our small group and I know if we seek Him, He will bless us and those around us. Many people think blessings mean God gives you things or money- but for me, God has given me joy. I'm hoping His joy will bubble over and create a fountain of blessings for others.
