The End? Or Just the Beginning?

My week at Global Samaritan has come to the end but not the last time I will work with these wonderful people.  I enjoyed my time helping at this worthwhile organization.  I witnessed the dedication and the genuine concern for others by the ladies who I saw daily.  It s a daunting task to inventory and document all the items which have been donated by generous companies and entities.  I was still typing up inventory sheets from July (that reflects the sheer volume of goods received into their warehouse!) mostly made up of hospital/surgical/patient supplies.  Kathy, who volunteers daily, has been in charge of entering in this massive amount of data and is a kind and dedicated person. She appreciated all the assistance we at FD have given to their cause.  Ester, who is in charge of coordinating/planning is truly a shining example of someone who, despite some health challenges, carries on to make sure the task is complete.  The other ladies I encountered also worked with passion and dedication.  They all demonstrate the reading of the day in “The Book of Mysteries” Day 255, The Masterwork which clarifies that to accomplish great works the key is… “God must do it.  And you must let Him.” That the secret is “If you live by the Spirit of God, you fulfill the will of God.” These truths are evident in Galatians 5:22. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Thank you Kris and FD to make it possible for me to take a Mini-Sabbatical and help where I could with this outstanding organization!
