Day 5: Flood

Ok so at first glance, this one may not make sense to you.  In actuality, this is the preparation for the flood. When you know a flood is coming, you need to be prepared - in this case, for a flood of people.  Saturday morning this space will be filled with hundreds of people for Sunbury UMC's Breakfast with Santa.  Preparations have been going on since last year's event.  Many volunteers have worked over the last few days to prepare the space, and that will continue tomorrow.  Then Saturday morning, volunteers will show up to lead games, prepare food, and so many other things for the morning.  Then, after a 2 hour event (9-11am), the cleanup begins, followed by the preparations for next year's event. The point - reaching our community with the message, hope, and love of a God who would send his son to live here on earth.   The importance of that message makes it all worth it.  So I pray for those who will be part of this flood of people - and that the nasty weather doesn't keep them away this weekend.
