Jesus Calling - Recollections from the West Virginia Mission Trip

Written by Lucy Moore

Scraps of wood

A screaming grandma

Gardens

Abandoned buildings

Hope

Narrow bridges

Academic awards

Banana pancakes

Wandering friendly dogs

A woman sharing her treasures

Broken glass

Sleeping on couches

Cabinets filled with china and punch cups

Dilapidated porches

Fellowship

Rusty mining shafts

Fluffy cats in cars

The whirring of saws

Clutter

The face of Christ

Kids climbing trees

Steaming coffee

Singing Happy Birthday

Children eager to love and learn

Tall mountains lush with trees and wildlife

Prayers

Soaring birds

Weeds

Dirty dusty skin

A hot soothing shower

Satellite dishes

Squawking pet birds

Empty flower pots

Clear blue sky

Jesus

A stolen jacket

Creased blue jeans

Speeding trucks filled with coal

A teenager staring downward

The smell of waste and decay

The shout of a train whistle

A winding mountain descent

Dusty punch bowls

Cheap paper plates

Barefoot children

Gentle voices

Filling slower pots

Laughter

Jesus
