“The people had a mind to work.” — Nehemiah 4:6

The group wasn’t large when the day started, but everyone was willing and ready to get some much needed work done. Over the next few minutes, more came by ones and twos and families to help, and soon a full crew was busy. Some were inside cleaning and clearing. Some were outside trimming every bush on the property and cleaning up the parking lot. Some were lifting loads others couldn’t. The 3-ton dumpster was filling up and the workers kept smiling and laughing, working together and enjoying the day. Men, women, teens and even younger kids stayed on task and accomplished so much in one day.
