Day number two was one for the books! Students worked hard all day long, and they again reflected upon the things they saw and experienced.
Throughout the day, our small groups of students sorted food donations at a food pantry; unpacked and bundled donated clothes and supplies for families with infants to young children; cared for a community garden; and picked up another beach. During our devotional time, the leading small group encouraged the rest of us to consider the impact that our work had on the organizations and communities within which we volunteered. They reached the general consensus that while their jobs could seem small and sometimes incomplete, they're all working pieces to a bigger picture. They don't have to do it all; they just have to do the best they can with the gifts that they individually have. Here's to continuing to recognizing and appreciating the little things and the big impact that they can have!
