Packing the Plaxtons

Saturday we went to the Plaxton's "packing party." Their 20 foot container arrived on Friday so we, along with many people from Gold Country Baptist Church and other friends of Tim and Melody, went to their house to pack the container with their stuff for Guam, pack another truck with stuff being given to charity and a trailer with stuff for the dump. It was a great time of fellowship around an important task and the BBQ'd hamburgers and hot dogs were pretty good too. Even though we have done it before, it is always an amazing thing to see someone give up their "treasures on earth" to "store up treasures in heaven," in order to "seek first his kingdom" without a "worry about tomorrow" knowing that their "heavenly Father feeds them." (Matthew 6:19-34) It is also wonderful to see the church family come around them as a team (hmm a "body") to make it happen. Please keep Tim and Melody in your prayers as they have a lot to do before they arrive on Guam on August 15th.
