Lebanon, TN


We stayed a couple of nights in this campground in Lebanon, TN, just about a
mile and a half off the interstate. It was a nice place to stay.


I am showing these pictures of a tent compound because there is a story behind it.
A family, a husband, wife and their two children are living in here. The husband lost
his job as a project manager for a construction firm. He decided to start his own
construction business and it did pretty well for awhile. With the economy the way it
is his business had slowed way down too! Then they lost their home. They decided to
live in this campground in some tents. That is when they discovered other people in
similar situations. They began to help them out as much as they could. As fate would
have it a TV station in Nashville got wind of them helping others and broadcast the story.
Supplies of all sorts started coming in so they could help others. The lady who owns the
campground has a big heart and she started helping them store the supplies. They had
food, domestic, clothing, and school supplies to help other folks. Now when someone
needs something they just go there and are able to get what they need. This family is
very active in their church and feel like they have God’s blessing in helping so many
others in similar situations. You just never know what God has planned for you!
