My thoughts for the day!
We are back from Florida and had a wonderful time! 21 youth, 9 adults and 3 children went on this Mission trip to Tampa Bay! I couldn't have asked for a better group of people! I was able to see unity in a way that is hard to explain! I seen youth share the love of Christ for the first time and they actually enjoyed it! It was wonderful! I also seen youth step out of their comfort zones and talk to complete strangers! It was great! A little play by play of what we did, Door to door survey, attended a homeless ministry worship service, played bingo with elderly at a nursing home, handed out bottled water at the beach, went and helped with a church block party and also went and fed the homeless as well as give them clothes! This was the most touching of them all as Douglas cried so much to see so many children that didn't have toys and things that he has! He gave away his stuffed monkey that he won at Busch Gardens and also a bible! His little hear broke so much for those people! Later he told Doug and I how selfish he was! WOW! 8 years old and he got it! I am so proud! Jackson also noticed all the children that didn't have shoes on! That made him sad! Taylor was such a great help and handed out food, water and clothes to people as well as her stuffed animal too! She is little miss tender heart! I couldn't be any prouder I don't think! God has given me some great kids!
