We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously..... (Romans 12:6-8a)
It is our mission to be the Hands and Feet of Christ by helping others. We hope to be able to use this blog as an outlet for opportunities to help others. May these stories touch your hearts but through them may God be glorified.

Carry Each Others Burdens Galatians 6:2

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  Matthew 6:19   

Hands and Feet group would like to thank you for your time, donations, and prayers.  We woke up bright and early this morning and headed to our yard sale location.  I had to slow down the car and take this snap shot of the start of our day.  One prayer already answered:  No Rain and beautiful morning!

We thank you for so many items donated.  We had everything from electronics, furniture, toys, baby items, clothes, houseware, and etc.  We wouldn't have had all of this if it wasn't for your thoughtful giving.  THANK YOU!  We sold so much and we give Him the Glory, we were trusting in Him to provide and He did. He provided items to sell and people to buy and donate.
We had the opportunity to meet many people today.  Some even asked us to pray for them as they were going through a tough time in their lives.  We hope that through this yard sale they know they too can trust in God to hear their prayers. 
 
For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear, I will help you. Isaiah 41:13

Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28


Could you have said no to Lemonade or Bake Sale items with these cute faces selling?  (ok maybe I'm a little partial)

I know this lady couldn't say no.  Lilli would walk up to people asking if they wanted some lemonade, then she would stick her hand out for the 50 cents.
