Watching Beauty Unfold...

Once the summer is over and done with I most certainly intend to blog more frequently. My days are filled with planning trips and small group activities. One such activity got me thinking. Earlier this week we picked up our high schoolers, and loaded them up in a van with waters. Now these waters were not for them. These waters were for anyone we saw on the street as we drove around the city.

It was a such a great opportunity to talk about how Jesus told us to feed the hungry, and give water to the thirsty. While watching my kids go and take water to the outdoorsmen they encountered and pray with them. Something dawned on me. My kids are just a few bad decisions away from being one of these outdoorsmen. I certain hope they don't become one, but many of these outdoorsmen come from situations like my kids.

Now I don't know what to do with that thought. But it was beautiful to watch some of my kids who don't get enough food to eat, going and handing a bottle of water and crackers to someone who needed it just as much as they do. I don't have enough words to describe the Presence of God in that moment.

Grace and Peace.
