The Both Hands project this weekend is really stretching our detail muscles. There are all kind of things to think about: getting supplies like fence posts and topsoil donated, figuring out when things need to be delivered to actually make the project happen, making sure we have enough people to work on the day of the project, feeding all those people...and there are a lot more.
I would like to think I'm an organized, get-it-done, planning type person, but it's just not how I'm made. Luckily, we have people working on our Both Hands project who are detail people! And I'm finding that the less I worry, and the more I let them do their thing, the more easily tasks are getting done. There is still plenty for us to do - we'll be unloading a truck of supplies tomorrow night and staging some more supplies on Friday, but I am very thankful for our team of people who are helping us with the project.
What is Both Hands?
Both Hands is a really cool way for families to raise money for an adoption by serving a widow. It's James 1:27 ("...true religion is helping widows and orphans...") come to life. We have a team of people who are going to work on a widow's house with us on Saturday, May 31. Many on our team sent out support letters asking people to sponsor them for the day of the project. All the money donated (there are no admin fees) goes toward our adoption expenses.Both Hands is a 501(c)3 organization, so anyone who donates will get a tax deduction. And, through the generosity of a handful of anonymous donors and family members, we have an $8,000 matching grant for any money raised before May 31. If you've been thinking about donating, please donate via PayPal by Saturday or get your check in the mail (postmarked by May 31) to double your donation with our matching grant!
