Day 12: I am so proud!

Day 12: Today I offered to clean the church for my pastor and his wife. They have prior engagements out of town today and so they don't have to rush around I offered to clean it. I didn't know though when I offered that the whole family would be feeling my kindness. We got to the church and I told the kids they could go play and mom will clean then we can go. There are tons of toys considering they have a preschool there during the day but instead they came to me and said can I help? At first I didn't think they really meant it but I gave them a rag and showed them what needed cleaned. They went right to it. Kurt changed filters and found some other repairs to do. I was kind of just surprised. It was a family project. I loved it. The kids never stopped cleaning instead they kept asking for new jobs. I of course went over everything they did but they really did a good job. I could tell their heart was really in it. I am just so proud of my kids after today and my husband too. I am usually the one that volunteers and just does the things but they all jumped in without me even asking. The church is used alot for services twice a week and preschool during the days. We have our Cub Scout meetings there twice a month. Then there are always other activities going on. I definately needs a good clean at least once a week. I am happy to do so since I get so much from the church. It's God's building and I want to help take care of it. I am just so glad all my family feels the same way. My kids may never offer to help again but today they made their mommy very proud!
