Another cleanup day I found myself questioning what God could do with five people. You would think I learned my lesson from the previous week. One week had passed since we had worked with 5 different people the week before, and God revealed himself in a powerful way. Here I was wondering what we were going to do with five people, again. That stubborn nature is hard to break. Funny how God works out all the details, all you have to do is have faith and trust. When we pulled up to a sister church we had been working with, one of the sweet ladies from their church told us of a post she had read on a local tornado facebook page that was asking for help. The entire house had to be bulldozed and everything except the foundation needed to be brought to the road. We got the address and was on our way. As we pulled up I saw one sweet lady with the cutest smile already pulling debris to the road. I thought she might have lived there, but evidently she saw the same post we did and she drove in by herself and just started doing what needed to be done. She lives 45 minutes from our city, yet she saw a need and she just did what needed to be done. As we walked up she said, "Two are better than one!" How awesome was it that our preacher had just preached a sermon the day before, on how two people are more effective for the Kingdom than one. Two can accomplish more than one, and think of the snowball affect if you keep adding folks in! Well guess what happened next. Honda pulled up with their volunteers again, and shortly there was about 60 people working on one house that needed help. In a little under two hours everything that was not attached to the foundation was sitting next to the road! Imagine what could be done if we just work together and let God work out the details!
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. Ecclesiastes 4:9
