Our church created an awesome opportunity to give back to our community this past weekend. We had volunteers all over the county handing out bottled water, picking up trash, returning shopping carts, mowing lawns… It was amazing. I had such a great time being with my small group and just having the opportunity to give back to our community.
The most amazing part of it all happened once I was leaving though. I had to leave early to shoot a wedding, and on my way home I passed so many other groups from the church volunteering their time … giving back. I mean they were everywhere. We had bright green t- shirts on, I think if we had a helicopter and were able to get an aerial view from Saturday – it would have been just one amazing green spot! It was just so touching to me to see so many people giving their time to the benefit of others. Just to see one person smile, or inquire about why we were doing such things… If one person’s heart was changed, one person came to know Christ through this – it was so worth it. The great thing is – with all the generous people that gave there time… I think it’s safe to say more than one person was touched!
