You never know

This note will be as short as a 2 and 4 year old will allow! Got called into action last night to sit with the grand kids, so I will try to make some sense of this note! Hope your week was a little more quieter than ours!

We continue to stay as busy in and around the center with all sorts of God's stuff happening! The basketball teams continue playing their games and practicing, afternoons where teaching and learning with the children continued, Bible fellowship happened on Tuesday evening, clothes were sorted and hung, computer work was done, bills were paid, repairs were crafted, camps were visited, relationships were made, food was delivered, songs were song, the Word was shared, supper was served, medical expertise was delivered, houses were painted. God's work is never done, no matter how much we try to slow it down!

Don't forget this Saturday is breakfast time. See you all at 8:30 for some good food and hot coffee.

Several weeks ago Joey and I had the pleasure to prepare lunch for the 12 year old boys basketball team at the center on Saturday. As the boys formed a line to get their plates all said thank you sir, it sure looks good. Just as they were about to start eating, one young man stood up and said, we need to say a blessing. So they each held hands, said grace and dug in. I looked around the dining hall, there was no Coach Chuck or Coach Matt or Ms Vicki telling them to pray, they did it all on their own. !2 year old boys, holding hands, heads bowed, eyes shut, how amazing was that! I wrote a note to Vicki and Matt and told them, these young men made my weekend. On Thursdays, we see many of the young children we tutored many years ago, come back for a visit.

Whether you know it or not, you are making a difference in the lives you come in contact with in our community. I know at times we want to wring their necks, send them home, get frustrated in the way they act, but folks they are experiencing a lvoe that they get no where else in their young lives. It is amazing to see.

I would like to encourage each one of you to continue to allow the splendor and mighty grace of Jesus Christ to work through you. Continue to pray for God's guidance for your journey and together we will build a Kingdom worthy of God's blessings. Amen!

Have a great week. Remember, you are making a difference!
