Youth Sunday

Yesterday was Youth Sunday at my church. It was an incredible experience. Our Youth/Teens went to Arkansas on a mission trip this summer. The scripture, prayers and message tied into this mission trip. They talked about their experiences in a homeless shelter, a food bank and a Spinal cord awareness dinner. The one thing that touched me the most was that they were so moved by what they experienced in these places that they used their spending money to buy groceries for the homeless shelter. They thought they only bought enough for 1 meal but they bought enough for 3. Incredible. What wonderful inspiration these Teens are for me, my children and the church familly. I was very teary (joyful tears) while listening to their message. There was alot more to what they did than buying groceries but that touched me the most. It was a wonderful reminder to take time out of our busy lives and money out of our pockets to help those less fortunate. Isn't that what Jesus would want us to do. Thank you to the Teens in Ministry for reminding us of what is important!!
