Small effort, BIG difference!

March 11, 2014 by Chris Parker 1 Comment

Since moving into our home, there has been multiple things that have needed attention. Everything from painting rooms to replacing doors. Recently an arborist stopped by my house and informed me that the giant oak trees in both the front and backyard needed trimming. He quoted us $2,000 for the process, and said that was on the cheap side.

If you didn’t know it, I’m a do it yourself kind of person. Pruning all these trees by myself would have taken me 3-4 weeks by myself. So, I took matters into my own hands but decided not to do it alone. I called down a list of friends, bought a pole saw, and put some BBQ on the grill.

With the help of friends we knocked out the pruning in a couple of hours. There were ladders and pole saws everywhere, chain saws whizzing through thick limbs, and delicious BBQ for the finale!

Inviting others into your process is a small effort but can make a BIG difference. How can you invite others into your current ministry dilemma to help make that big difference you want to see?
