Thats right, more rocks!
Franklin, Jon, & Bolivar have been working 2 days now filling up a crossing in the new road with rocks. It has a spring right in the road, and stays mushy to where you can't cross so Franklin is hoping this will help!
What do missionaries do? Sometimes glorious work, proclaiming the Gospel message to many people, or giving food to someone who's hungry, and seeing the smiles on their faces makes it worth the hour walk up hill! But sometimes missionaries do stuff that most wouldn't count as mission work.
Like picking up rocks!
We had a young man come help here at the camp from Oklahoma. We were in the process of picking up rocks around the camp center to build a retaining wall. After about an hour of that the young man looks at Franklin and says, "You know picking up rocks is about the lowest job you can be given!"
He's no longer a missionary. It's not for everyone! It's not glorious work all the time. I am sure you could say that about your life, it's not a box o chocolates all the time! Sometime theres rocks, big ones or a tiny one in your shoe, that feels like a boulder!
I think of these times as the sandpaper that GOD uses to smooth out our life, how would we be thankful for the sun if it didn't rain for days? How would we be thankful for a nice smooth yard with green grass if we didn't cut it, and pick up the rocks!
May I always use my strength to do the will of GOD!
Have a blessed day! Hope this encourages you to keep picking up the rocks in your path and building castles with them! Retaining walls to hold back the forces of evil,
If GOD is with us who can be against us!
