Time for Penninsula 1710 again! This this time we could not have asked for better weather! Our project was fun too! Two 1710's ago John was called up at about 10:00 at night asking him to go to this man's house and help finish up a project that had started out as a "simple" kitchen floor replacement and turned into a very big job. John spent all night at this gentleman's house with several other men from church. They worked until the wee hours of the morning to get a floor put in for this sweet elderly, blind man. Ever since that night I had heard about what an interesting man this was. John had also talked about how the man kept a horse even though he could not see. Well, I fianlly got the chance to meet this gentleman as we got to do a some things to help out not only Mr. Allen, but also his horse!
Here is our small group getting ready to do some work on the horse barn.
Teri and Brendan put some tar on the roof to stop some of the leaks.
John, the Lucas family and Mike fixed the fence.
Kirk, Jack and I replaced the door for the horse's side of the barn.
The other side of the horse barn got a new door thanks to the Hayes clan, and that side of the barn was turned into more of a shed so that Mr. Allen could keep his garden tiller and other tools in out of the weather.
It was so good to be able to do this project with our church small group. Serving together helps bring us closer together and closer to God as we do what he commands.
Luke 17:10 "...when you have done everything you were told to do, (you) should say, 'We are unworthy servants, we have only done our duty.' "
