The Night Before The Packing Party
It’s the
night before the packing party and all through the church
Our team
scurries onward in desperate search
Of folks to
fold boxes and set up the line,
To get
items ready and make things look fine
So we will
be ready for each volunteer
Who comes
to pack boxes and spread lots of cheer.
Elizabeth’s
working to organize all,
With lists
that she’s checking for needs big and small.
While
Kristin’s strategic in getting the youth
Excited in
serving and spreading God’s truth.
There’s
Terri who’s working to make things look good
And pushing
herself more than anyone should.
While
Heather shares years of experience here
And digs in
to ‘bring it’ for still one more year.
And Kathy
feels like she’s relaxing in bed
While
visions of shoeboxes dance in her head.
Like a
well-oiled machine, the team moves in synch,
And then
comes the pause when we all stop to think
Of what God
has done for us all through the year
That’s
brought us to this point as we all stand here
And ponder
His goodness and pray for His will
And wait
now, expecting, for miracles
still.
Surrounded
by prayer we are ready to move,
To pack all
those boxes and once again prove
That He is
enough to supply every need,
To fill
every box and to grow every seed.
And now
we’re prepared to just trust in His might,
We’ll see
you tomorrow. For now, it’s goodnight.
ps--and if you're coming to join us tomorrow, won't you consider bringing a donation to help pay for shipping our boxes?
