Fourth of July celebrations are often rolled out in

grand fashion to celebrate Americas freedom. Manytimes there is a local symphony that performs. Each

instrument is fine-tuned for their unique purpose and

moment in time to play. The performers aremusicians who show exceptional ability andtechnique, striving to be perfect in their performance.

Our lives are like that symphony. We all have aspecific part to play, with specific gifts and talents.

When we allow ourselves to be used to help others,the beauty of our lives explodes in vibrant color and

song like a 4th

of July celebration. For the lives wetouch freedom and hope is given.

Your part in the Real Life Center allows us to reach

out to the hurting, offering freedom fromhopelessness and stress. This happens because theyhave the opportunity to know that someone cares.

Financial assistance, clothes, food, bread andvegetables are a big part of it, but offering hope is an

incredible gift.

There are many different roles from driving to pic

up peaches, picking vegetables, working in theorchard, organizing fundraisers, sorting clothes,

working at the Real Life Store, or giving generous

that many of you play. It is all of us taking a part make up that beautiful song orchestrated perfectlyhelp our neighbor.

Together.
