Fremont Days

I put on perfume today. Why did I put on perfume today? I like to smell nice, or maybe it is just habit. No matter how you look at it no amount of perfume in all the world would have helped me today. I helped out at the Children's Ministry Booth while the temp soared above triple digits. All of us were experiencing mass drippage in the sweat department. And yet the children continued to climb through our puffed up obsticle course. Kids bounded through the course ignoring the way the hot plastic scorched their smooth baby flesh. Sticky hands gripped my capris as small bodies swarmed around. Moms came to the booth hands full of bags, fliers and melted snow cones. These women weren't faring any better than me and we joked about the sweat. Women are supposed to glisten; we weren't, and we knew it. And as they waited for thier kids to make it through the course, they were told about VBS, MOPS, and Preschool. What's a little sweat if these women can be blessed by these ministries? Thanks Jeff and Paula for making it happen!
