I Am Tired Tonight!

 

 

My body is weary.

 

My back hurts.

 

My feet ache.

 

 ~~~

But ~ I got the job done!

~~~ 

 

This morning there were 12,600 The Extra Mile newsletters neatly packed in boxes ~ from the printer.

 

Tonight 10,538 of them are in 74 mail trays ~ ready for the post office ~ the balance of 2,062 will go to chapels and churches in bulk packages.

 

The newsletters are heading to post offices across the country.

I didn’t have to do the job in one day…

 

…but my wonderful Pitney Bowes printer worked so well today ~ the addresses were finished by noon.

 

I was going to run the newsletters through our tabbing machine tomorrow, but since it was only noon, I decided to see how many I could get finished by closing time at 5:00 PM.

 

As 4:00 PM approached, I realized that I was going to have a circled tab on every newsletter by 5:00 PM.

~~~

I may not try that all in one day again, but it was good to know that it can be done. 

~~~

I paused to thank the Lord several times today for the three people who made it possible for TFC to purchase these machines in 2006. 

The sad thing is that I no longer need volunteers to help do this job.  The good thing is that the machines are much faster ~ and I can do the job alone ~ which means I do not have to clean the garage and house or buy snacks for “newsletter day”. 

Sorry,  Evangeline, I won’t be able to show you any more pictures of your friend Dorothy helping us.
