Team Building with 7 Bridges to Recovery

Psalm 118:24 reads: 

This is the day that the Lord has made;
    let us rejoice and be glad in it

Indeed, every day is a special gift from God.  Not one is exactly like any other. Today was extra special.  The team gathered early in the morning at Patrick's house for a wonderful breakfast prepared by Annette, followed by praise and worship.  Patrick led a devotional that well prepared our hearts and minds for a day of serving and loving others in the name of Jesus.

After preparing 100 bagged lunches, we headed down to The Garden in Smyrna to meet up with the 7 Bridges crew and the other volunteers for the day.  It was great to see familiar faces and met many new ones.

Our time in the city was filled with song, prayer, and many divine appointments.  There were so many sweet children out enjoying the beautiful spring weather. It was great to be able to love on them and just have fun singing and playing together.  It seemed like each stop on the Bluff route just got better and better.  Praise be to God, by the end of the day we had witnessed many souls being reconciled to Him!  

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
-- Luke 15:10

Surely there was great joy among the angels of God today!  We set out today our hearts prepared for sowing and the Lord allowed us to see His harvesting even now in the early spring.  Today is the day of salvation.  Hallelujah, what a Savior!  

We wrapped up the day back at Patrick's for dinner and debrief.  It was a long day, but what a great day it was!  We really missed our teammates who weren't able to be with us and we look forward to our next meeting with them at the end of month.
