At the same time when I am away I do not get to be at our drop in on Friday nights. I was talking to my daughters tonight and they shared with me something that was exciting to hear. They told me that this past Friday night they went and helped out. One of my girls, Amy, went and bought some food with her own money and did some art for the teens. My other daughter Erin baked some cookies and spent some time with the teens too. In fact she told me that she really connected with one specific teen.
It really means a lot to me to see my kids take an interest in the ministry. They have much to offer. It was so refreshing to hear them be so excited about being involved.
I remember last year Erin helped out at a VBS we ran, and she had her heart broken for a little boy that was really having a hard time. He was curled up in the fetal postion a couple of times and cried and cried and cried. We could not get this little guy to talk at all, but Erin did. He told her all about his dog and that made him a happy little guy. I know she is still impacted by little Thomas.
This ministry is about families and bringing families back together. I am going to continue to pray and see how my girls can continue to help people gain hope and reconnect in their own families. God is good!
I love my family! I am thankful for my children Erin and Amy who live here in Fredericton and my son Ryne who lives in Halifax. I am blessed to have a godly wife who cares about others! We are family and now it is time to spend some time together now that I am back home!
