Final Day at the Bowery - Thursday into Friday departure

Thursday from Chris' perspective:  Thursday was a great day. I was still nervous about sharing but I knew I had a lot of people praying for me (THANK YOU!) Joel shared a powerful word from Gal 5 and I shared about the point in my life I surrendered to God's leading in my life and about God's love for us all. I had asked God Wed night to show me how he loved us and it was a wonderful picture of his love, like liquid. pouring down over the Bowery chapel and unconditionally loving each and everyone of us there. Thanks be to God who's love and mercy are limitless. We had breakfast and took the packed subway to Brooklyn and joined with the other volunteers to serve and to pray with the community people. They had kids toys to give out to the children I loved seeing the joy it brought to there faces to receive the free gift. On the way back we got off the subway at chinatown. We shopped a little and had lunch at "Pizza Junkie" then worked at the Bowery getting ready for the fellowship hall to be painted. Joel and I went to NJ to get the van then had my fist canolli what a tasty treat. We spent some time with the Bowery Guys and hung out with John Brudermann then I went to sleep. Joel however, has many more adventures before dawn. But that is another story.
