Jesus said the only "religion" we should have is to take care of widows and orphans.
The Both Hands Project taking place Saturday in Etowah does just that!
I know Jessica and Jason Cardin, the sponsors of the event because my dear husband teaches Spanish with Jessica at McMinn Central High School. (So much for anonymity!)
Why does that matter? I think it speaks to the heart... Jessica and Jason have a daughter already but are compelled to adopt their next child and to care for high school students!!! I share the calling to adopt. You call a child your own and you will be saving them! Love changes things.
And so it is in caring for a widow who needs help! For her privacy, I won't identify her here. I'll call her "Elizabeth." What good wouldn't be done if we don't volunteer to help? I'll tell you!
Elizabeth needs some work done on her home. I'm so excited that a) she had the guts to ask for help and b) the Cardins are the kind of people who want to help! It promotes their need for adoption funds, (yes, please make checks out!) and it helps Elizabeth... And right before the holidays! What a wonderful thing.
One might point out the redemptive value of such and endeavor! One like me! LOL!
