We had 3 venues for serving in Dorchester yesterday. The boys did a neighborhood cleanup on a very long street. Leave it to them to make it fun! They were rewarded points for the kind of trash they found. Our middle child won-he found the most noteworthy trash.
On another note, we continue to see the need for Christians in the city that are willing to make a difference and stick it out in hard times. As the boys were cleaning up, they also witnessed a drug exchange and were taught to "keep their eyes on their shoes." We are thankful for God's on-going protection in our family, but also for the life lessons we are able to teach the children, like why people are involved in drugs, how we should respond, which leads us to pray for our neighborhood and neighbors. It has been incredible to see their compassionate hearts, instead of hearts of hard judgement
