A first class operationPrinting, labeling, filling, sealing, and stamping! For many hours spanning several days, these were the primary activities of the Wilkes Team as each one rapidly performed their part in the preparation of several hundred Markie and Adam apply labelsmailings. Towards the end of December and on into the New Year, Dad sends out calendars to friends and clients throughout the United States. The calendars provide contact information on the real estate services offered by both Dad and Grandpa. It is a joy to be able to contibute to the success of their business. An added bonus this year was the opportunity to also prepare Grandpa’s calendars. Each participant was assigned a specific task including applying Princess peeks up amidst progressaddress labels, stamping the bulk mail stamp on each envelope, sticking on return labels, inserting Dad’s yearly letter, and sorting the envelopes according to zip codes.

The final night of work - good job everyone!Two things stand out from this family project. Each participant exhibited cheerful, teachable attitudes and allowed much to be accomplished in a little Sarah makes adjustments to the calendarsbit of time. The other is Dad’s boldness in proclaiming Christ. In his business letter sent to clients of all walks of life, he followed the principle of Proverbs 25:25 (As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.) and shared the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. The tendency would be to avoid using ‘Jesus Christ’ in the letter so as not to offend others and possibly hinder business. Dad’s trust in the Lord vs. man’s approval is a testimony of Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”
