Serving at World Impact
Today, I had the privilege of going to World Impact in Wichita to do a family service project. Mitchell and Megan joined me. After some initial complaining, they were ready to go. Along with Hank, Anna, and Jackson Humphreys, we pulled weeds and trimmed some bushes. The six of us were able to make some noticeable improvements within a couple of hours.
It was fun working alongside the kids. They worked hard for about 1 1/2 hours. Then the kids played together and Hank and I finished things up. We were able to complete about 5-6 flower beds. Chuck, our contact at World Impact, told the kids that what we accomplished today would take him 2 days by himself. We were able to do it in about 3 hours. He also showed us their mobile medical unit and told us about their ministry to the community.
On our way to visit Grammie and Grandaddy, the kids told me how much fun they had and realized they would have missed out on a fun day if they would have stayed home (which is what they wanted at 8 a.m. this morning). They also told me how their work made a difference and it impacted others. They had a good attitude and learned the importance of service and helping others. An added bonus: a ride on a golf cart, Popsicle, bouncy jelly fish toy, and Subway.
I encourage all parents and grandparents to find a service project and do it with your kids and grandkids. You will be glad you did!
