The summer has flown by!
We took 30 plus kids (ages 3-19) to a hotel in the next
town with a great pool so they could go swimming! Lets just say they had a blast, nothing but laughter and
smiles. And only a few times I closed
my eyes in fear we would be taking a trip to the nearest hospital, but we made
it and everyone left without any injuries.
To see the joy in the kids faces, the care free spirit, no
worries, just laughter, was an amazing reminder of how God feels when we move
through our day with joy. How He
delights in our smiles and thankfulness of something so simple. Sometimes it is the simple things in
our lives that God uses to refine us and teach us, we just need to step back
and see it for what it is worth and not be blind to it. To hear Major say it was the best day
of his life, Addyx giggles as she runs and jumps from the girls and then
crashes and gets a great nap on the way home, and then Beckett who the whole
drive there talked about the beautiful mountains and the ocean (or as he called it
“river”), but there was true joy in all of their hearts! And Sean and I got to sit back and
watch the pool full of happiness, laughter, conversation and fellowship!
Here are some pictures from our day.
