I am completely overwhelmed with gratitude for you, your husband, and your team of volunteers. I have learned so much about church service in this assignment, and your post really hit it home for me. Thank you so, so, so, so much for all that you did to make this happen. I wasn't at the conference, but all I had heard is "such success"! - especially with Sunday's food. I am so inspired and blessed by your example. Thank you. Thank you.

I don't know how you did it - one day soon you'll have to explain it all. But I'm in awe, and I'm so thankful for all of the wonderful people who helped you (wish I could have been one of them!) It seems sometimes that the more daunting the task, the greater the reward on the other end. No wonder you're feeling the glow!

You'd think that if you ordered something and were assured that it would be there for pick up that it would be. It's not fun to have to run around getting more supplies. I think I would have lost my mind. No,I'm sure I would have. I'll bet your back really hurt after bending over that table making that many sandwiches for so long. Do you know that 2,000 sandwiches divided by 40 means that each person made 50 sandwiches I would hate to have to make 50 sandwiches for anyone. It was a great idea to have an assembly line that worked so perfectly together. If only you had just that part of it to do. But it is over, my dear, and I know the joy you have in your heart to have had everything work out so well in the end. And yes, you will remember this forever!!!Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797132860053426517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-28327714875890148402012-08-13T14:32:18.736-07:002012-08-13T14:32:18.736-07:00"With God all things are possible!"
