As my final week of Sabbatical has come to end, I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude for this time of rest and rejuvenation. The words “thank you” really don’t quite do it justice. I am truly blessed to work for such a great company. That being said, my final week’s service project was with Love & Care Ministries here in Abilene. As most of you know, this ministry is absolutely incredible! I saw literally hundreds of people being helped and served by this ministry. From the minute the doors opened until the minute they closed, Love & Care would serve the homeless and poor. The attitude was very upbeat and Christian music was played everywhere I went. There was just this joy that I couldn’t describe about the people and the work they were doing. The job that I was given was serving in the Clothing Ministry. We would grab plastic trash bags full of clothes and sort them into Men’s & Women’s categories along with categories for sizes. I was amazed at all the clothing that Love & Care had received from the community. At the same time we were sorting the clothes, there were literally people waiting in a room to receive those clothes. Needless to say, it was something I will never forget, and also serving in that ministry is something that I will definitely do again. Thank you Funeral Directors Life!
Here is the pile of clothes that we would sort through.
