Memorial Box Monday - Red Paint

I blogged a few weeks ago about our trip to Ukraine to build beds for an orphanage.  When it came time to begin painting the beds, we discovered that there were only 5 (I think) gallons of paint.  We all thought "There is no way we will finish painting all of these beds with only 5 gallons of paint.  We started painting and some of the kids even chipped in to help us.  Sure enough, as we worked through the lineup of beds, we got to the last bucket of paint and still had a LOT of beds left to paint.  We began to pray that the paint would  S-T-R-E-T-C-H so that we could finish the job we started.  We painted and painted and painted.  Everytime we dipped our brush into the bucket, there was paint.  We were all amazed!  We got down to the last three beds and still had nearly 1/4 bucket of paint left!! We finished painting those three beds and had paint left over. 

Praise God! so in my Memorial Box goes a picture of paint buckets.
