365 Days of Service

Day 136 - Oct 27

No, not a workout at the gym, but a workout at Mercy Ministry. Tonight was one of the times during the month when everything needs to be done. Mercy has been blessed recently with tons of food. For a while there, we were really short on supplies and did not have much to share with the poor in Oklahoma City. All of a sudden, last week tons of food appeared in the warehouse. Suddenly, we’re having to move boxes and boxes of supplies around, restock shelves, reorganize and get rid of tons of cardboard. There were two awesome groups working together tonight at Mercy. One group bagged all the groceries we need for Tuesday and the other was organizing the clothing closet and doing the heavy lifting. I was sorting frozen chicken into smaller bags and then helped with the cardboard and restocking. When I left I was exhausted. It was a lot of hard work. Another night to go to bed early.
