Over the ten years Daybreak Community Church has been in existence, we have been able to influence many people. Our stretch touches people all over Frederick, and even the world. We are a unique and very special church family. So, over the years there have been people who have come and gone (for whatever reason). And from time to time, these friends (who are all over country) bless the church that means so much to them. One of Daybreak’s friends has sent me (as a wonderful gift) a stack of the “Building Blocks” children’s journals. I wrote about these a little over a week ago. They read my blog, looked them up on the web, and ordered them for the children. What a big heart!

So first, thank you friend, you know who you are, and this was a generous gift to our children and church. Second, I would like to make these journals available to our members at the welcome table on Sunday. There was also another friend of Daybreak who gave toward our Capture the Vision building campaign, and he even lives several states away (so thank you friend as well). Sometimes we become myopic in our field of view regarding the fruit that we see. The slow progress on some issues seems slow, but God uses friends from afar to remind us that we are making a huge impact and our scope is broader than we know. We are making a difference. So, thank you Daybreak Friends for your encouragement and reminder of how we have helped people over the years.
