Well per the title, today was our last day of work.
We got our day off started as usual with a devotional led by myself regarding service and being willing to get our hands dirty in the process if necessary. And this we did.
Today was probably the best day of work because we finally got to visit the place we came to help. The Hope Harbor Thrift Store named "Thrift Harbor" (Sign pictured above). We stopped there to assemble some shoe racks and move out an old one. Pictured below is a picture from inside the thrift store and us working on assembling the new shoe racks. Additionally though, we loaded up the almighty Budget truck that in some ways has become our best friend in our workdays to bring some stuff back to the storage unit and to the tractor trailer that gets sent out. I once again had the privilege of riding with Shane and we were joking around once again about different stuff. For lunch we got to eat back at the Hope Harbor main facility and spend some additional time with the kids here.
After lunch we briefly headed back to the thrift store and we also picked up some more clothes out of the donation bin at the Blue Starr Church of Christ. We then came back and off loaded some of it into the storage facility and also into the tractor trailer here on campus. The day was physically demanding but it was productive.
As far as the rest of the night, at the writing of this blog, the group is going out to have dinner and we will be assembling with the Blue Starr congregation for the last time for Bible Study tonight. Tomorrow I am heading to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a few days on personal business and returning back home to Denver on Monday.
Later in the week I will be posting some concluding thoughts about this unique and wonderful campaign for BVBID.
Until then, this is David Malley signing off for the last time from a cottage at Hope Harbor Children's Home in Claremore, Oklahoma.
