Hard Workin' Students

Live Wires is what most people call them.  It's what we call the too.  Our 5th and 6th grade students are learning how to love like Jesus did by giving, but we're not doing it all in the church.  American Christianity looks out for US too much.  We want to be a blessing to those who can bless us back.   Ask our 5th and 6th graders what pure religion looks like and they will tell you.   They know the answer.  Widows and orphans.  But really more than that.  Pure religion is blessing those who have no means to bless you back.  In other words... blessing someone just to be a blessing, with no expectation of reciprocation. 

We pulled up with about 35 kids, 50 contractor bags, 14 rakes, and 2 power blowers and commenced a whoopin on some sticks, limbs, pine needles, and leaves.

The next time you have the chance to bless someone, do it.  Don't just be a hearer of the Word, Just Do It!
