This has been a big week for me. While the rest of the country was taking their week of rest, heading for the beach or traveling to see relatives, we hosted a group of teens from Colorado who served at the Breakfast Program. They were completely awesome. I met them at church last Sunday. They were full of positive energy that was contagious. They filled the church with even more of God's love and kept up the positive energy all week.
They got to experience the joy of having a lost suitcase. Luckily, it didn't hold any of their personal belongings, but it did have craft projects they planned to do with the kids. I don't think the kids even noticed. They kept the kids busy by playing, hugging, braiding hair, painting nails and even bathing the younger ones. It was a great visit. I never imagined how much those little ones would love being bathed. What a fitting time for God's hands to bath the children.
Sometimes I had to remind myself that these guys were in high school. They were very mature and seemed older. I wished they could stay longer. I'm sure the kids did too.
