What lesson(s) did Sandra teach you?

My wife and I would meet Sandy when shopping to at God's Store House thrift store in Harrisburg, Oregon. Sandy taught an example of giving of her time in volunteering to help others, especially those struggling. She faithfully worked at God's Store House for about seven years. Before that, she served several years at the Teen Challenge Thrift store on River Road. And before that, there was "My Little Children." Sandy showed that one is able to give of their time to help others even when life seems busy. Her life taught: "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." - Philippians 2:4 (ESV)
