On a sunny Saturday in March, a volunteer team supported one of our CityLife Community Care's clients through a gardening project at her home. In a season where she had been limited by pain, she was unable to manage her garden’s warm weather growth. Through the team’s care and efforts, the property was restored to a manageable state. She had been given a second-hand mower recently, though was unaware of how to use it. She asked if the team could show her how to use it, which they did on the day so she could try some mowing when she felt strong enough.
She provided this feedback after the project in sharing her thanks: "I'd like to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone who helped me yesterday in assisting with my garden maintenance. Everyone's support truly meant so much to me and has lifted a great weight off my shoulders. I deeply appreciate all the hard work each of you put in. Thank you again for your helping hands and warm hearts."
Projects like this take time, muscle, sweat, and grace. The Lord gives us strength so that we can help others along the way. And when we work together, each using what He has given us, it’s amazing to see the impact it makes.
