A Gift from Pleasant Valley

.Our new playground

Thank-you doesn’t begin to describe how we feel about the rich blessings we have been given through our relationship with our brothers and sisters from the Pleasant Valley Church of Christ in Little Rock AR during the past year and a half.  Two wonderful Bible Day Camp Program have the product of wonderful volunteers from both congregations but this year our friends have outdone themselves.  Our old playground was donated to us almost 20 years ago (and it was used then) and has served us well but it was time to either fix it or replace it.

As a generous gift, our friends at the Pleasant Valley have given us a wonderful new playground that has installed by members of the team during their week with us.  It has been thoroughly enjoyed the past couple of weeks and we look forward to many more years of fun with it.

Our challenge so far as been keeping too many kids off of it.  We are only allowing 2 minute shifts on the swings and only 20 kids are allowed in the playground at a time. :)    Hopefully the novelty will wear off soon!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank-you for being such a gift to us.

In the Bible we see in God’s nature how He treats us all better than we deserve and then encourages us to go and do likewise.  So rather than try to give a gift back to you, or repay you in some way, we look forward to sending a mission team of our own in 2009 to be a blessing to another smaller congregation in Canada.  You have inspired us to be the hands and feet of Jesus and be a blessing to someone else.

Blessed be His glorious name forever;
may the whole earth be filled with his glory!

Amen and Amen!

Psalm 72: 19 (ESV)
