The “Joys” of painting

Today started off a little bad…I didn’t realize till it was too late that I would need some clothes with me that I would be painting in!!! After deciding to just wear a shirt that someone else had brought (thank you Mark for bringing extras!!!), I realized that I had never actually painted before!!! 😛 so upon arrival I was given the job of painting the trim!!! So I was now painting one of the hardest parts of the wall!!! I don’t know what I was thinking when I volunteered for that job, but I ended up learning that if you go slow you don’t make as big of a mess. Though it is something I usually would have hated to do, it is one of my favorite things I have ever done because of those little girls. The place we were painting was the home of a pastor that has taken on girls that were either malnourished or just abandoned. As of now they have around eight little girls, and they are the cutest things ever!!! When we took a break, we got to play with them and I had a WONDERFUL time!!! They have more joy with the little they have than we back home have with the huge amount of things we have. It was Him reminding me of just how much He has blessed me…and I am always glad when He does that.
