A Garden Gym

The church we attend has a big multi-purpose room. During the week, the room is a gymnasium, and on Sunday, it is our worship center. Being such a big room, it is hard to hide the fact that it is a gym.

But, for one day a year...our ladies REALLY try. It was transformed into a garden for the annual Ladies Luncheon. Flowers and fences, gardens and gates. I will have to admit...it was real purty.

So, what is our (me and the men) job in all this?

They let us help put up the larger decorations, they let us make some of the desserts, they let us cook the chicken on the grill, they let us keep the food dishes filled up, they let us run for tea and coffee, and they let us clean up. AND...oh what a clean-up it is! Food scraped off plates, dishes washed, dried, and put away, tables and chairs taken down and stored, and the whole place vacuumed. WHEW!

Why do we do it? Because our women (and ALL women) are special, and they DESERVE to be waited on.

It does make for a colorful Blip collage. 3 hours for me setting up on Friday night, and 5 hours in the kitchen today.

8 hours well spent. Amen.
