The Wind Reminds Me of Erie, but the Compassion Reminds Me of Virginia

Today was a cold cold day in Abingdon, VA, and the 14 of us worked on many different projects.  The boys worked again the the underneath of the roof, can't tell you what they did but it was great!

 A group of the girls worked on the deconstruction of a shed. They showed great determination and perseverance in the difficult and dirty task.

Personally I worked on the building of the front steps.  At the start of the day there were no steps, by the end there was a full set of steps.  The children will now have steps to walk into their house with, and a place to sit waiting for the bus, and a place to place flower boxes.

A small days task will do tremendous things for this family.  Just a thought to remember that every big or small project done on this house or any house is meaningful to amounts we will never understand.
