Today we were helping a family repair their house that was
devastated in hurricane sandy years ago and is still not repaired. Our group is starting in the home stretch but
there is still a ton of work to do. This
work includes filling the holes and sanding the walls in a second floor utility
room. I’m not quite sure what happened
in the room, but judging from all the holes and divits in the walls the
hurricane must have started in that very room.
All the walls had to be smooth so that the paint can go on and look
clean. I was tasked to sanding the ceiling
at first I tried to use the long sanding stick and it was a pain. My arms were awkwardly positioned. After about the eighth stroke I realized that
I was tall enough to reach the ceiling easily and just use the hand
sander. I ended up sanding the rest of
the ceiling. This made me realize that
God gave and continues to give us all different gifts and we can each use our
personal gifts to help others in our own way.
