Extreme Room Makeover (Plus)

John and Kathy Spiro sent in this testimony about the way some friends in the church blessed their family recently:

When Liana Glass, a good friend of our daughter, Amanda, found out that Amanda would be in Wisconsin on her birthday attending the funeral of her beloved grandpa, she came up with a plan to surprise and bless her. She contacted many of their friends about the idea of spending a day painting and decorating her room. They pooled their money together to buy a new bedspread and other items for an “extreme makeover” for her.

What began as a one room project soon turned into so much more. With many of the moms and a dad also involved, they decided to organize and clean out the garage and laundry room, as well as buy and plant flowers for our deck. Moms prepared meals for our return, did laundry, cleaned the carpets, and even bought new dishes for our kitchen. The joy they experienced as they served us so well was nothing compared to our surprise and joy as we returned from a difficult week to find our burden lifted and Amanda’s beautiful new room waiting.

We would like to thank everyone who gave of their time and money to bless us!
