today was a great day at sager brown! we rose nice and early and had several orientations of what kind of work we would be doing this week. then we headed over to the depot warehouse. this place is impressive. everything that comes into sager brown is sorted and all kinds of stuff get ready to head out to whomever needs it.
i worked at the sewing kit table. at this table, we had to make sure that each bag had 3 yards of fabric, a matching spool of thread, a pack of needles, a pair of scissors, and at least 5-8 matching buttons. i had a great time putting these together. it was fun matching everything up and digging through massive amounts of thread and buttons. many of the kits were already packed by the folks who sent them to sager brown but they all have to be checked. i couldn't help thinking of who is going to receive each kit and what they were going to make with it. i pray it blesses their life! other kits that were being put together were school kits, layette kits, birthing kits, and health kits.
tomorrow, i am headed to the head start program in baldwin. i believe i will be working with 3 and 4 year olds. right up my alley!
today was also mary's birthday (68, i believe). mac surprised her with a cake and candles and she clapped and grinned like a little girl. pure joy!
quote of today...skip - (talking about planning the communion service on thursday) - well they argued about who was going to bless the condiments. (he meant elements, as in communion elements)
