Making a Difference
Mike and Kathy Stephens left Tennessee to return to Kentucky to work as volunteers at CAP, after their children left home. They lived in a volunteer house.
Kathy was trying to think of something to use the left over funds for before they lost it at the end of August. A lady came to her with the need for a ramp to make access to her home easier. Lana (the lady in need of a ramp) had broken both of her legs in a farming accident. Kathy had to check about funding the project. When it was approved, the carpenter quit, with no time to loose as time was running out, Kathy got her colleagues to help and they built the ramp.
I feel that this was a very worthwhile project. It shows that there are some people who still care about their fellow man.
If you can afford to and no one gets hurt in the process you should always follow your heart.
You cannot always rely on other people,but I hope that if I had been in Kathy’s shoes that I would have done much the same thing.
God is always there to lend support and a helping hand in times of need.
