Update on Wednesday's Work...

Wednesday, we began putting in brick walls to hold up the new steps on the entry way. This included a lot of digging and a whole lot of elbow grease. Demotions continued on the bathroom, including the building of a wall to enclose a new shower.

After a long day of work, we headed to a place that makes wonderful Gyros. Then we went to Christo Luz del Mundo for their intercessory prayer meeting. Afterwards, a man there felt led to share with us the following verse:

Matthew 26:6-13 "Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for a large sum, and given to the poor.” But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. In pouring this ointment on my body she has done it to prepare me for burial. Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”

He said that the people in the church had noticed the beautiful thing that we have been doing for Jesus, and that they rejoice in it. He said that the aroma of our ointment is noticeable. We had just read the previous morning in our ongoing bible study of 2nd Corinthians the following:

"For we are the aroma of Christ to God" 2 Corinthians 2:15.

Very neat.
