Today was our last day at our site, Lighthouse Path. All we had to do today was organize the day care's storage room. I must say we preformed a miracle in that room.

At lunch time we listened to a presentation by Liz the Community Events Director; she told us more about Lighthouse and how us painting actually meant a lot to the organization. We also heard the story of a client of Lighthouse that really touched us all. Hearing her story helped us connect to our project assignments.

During lunch we read some poems from Shel Silverstein. This one touched the whole group:


Small as a peanut,
Big as a giant,
We're all the same size
When we turn off the light.

Rich as a sultan,
Poor as a mite,
We're all worth the same
When we turn off the light.

Red, black or orange,
Yellow or white,
We all look the same
When we turn off the light.

So maybe the way
To make everything right
Is for God to just reach out
And turn off the light!
