Well, it is all over but the driving home!  Yesterday we finished all of our painting projects, cleaning up all the mess, and doing some deep cleaning over the entire church.  We also did a little neighborhood canvasing for Redeemer Church.  When we returned for the evening worship service on Wednesday, we were greeted with many “thank yous” from the members of the church.  They were really appreciative and humbled that we would serve them during our Spring Break.

Today, we got up and went to Universal Studios.  We had a great time of just relaxing, eating, and laughing!  It was a great way to end our trip.

As we head back to S.C. tomorrow, I am reminded of a universal principle that is found in the Scripture.  It is the “Law of the Harvest” and it is found in Galatians 6:7-10.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.  For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.  Let us not loose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.  So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially top those who are of the household of the faith. (NASB)

This week, we had an opportunity to “do good” to those in the household of faith, Redeemer Church.  No doubt they were touched and blessed by us serving them, because they told us so every chance they had!  But make no mistake about it, we were blessed to be able to serve them.  Our faith was increased.  We made new friends.  We did Kingdom work.  We had the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.

This has been an incredible week.  We really enjoyed Universal today…and this week we experienced the universal truth that we got back what we gave, and then some.  It’s the Law of the Harvest!

Well, it is time to get to bed.  We have a drive home tomorrow!
