*Sadie and I were snuggling on the couch this evening, right before supper. I asked her what she did today, and she started listing things. Her highlight of the day: telling the Jesus story to a little girl who hangs out with our family every week! They were playing with a nativity set, and Sadie told her the whole story of Jesus’ birth. That’s good stuff…
*Lilly, Sadie, and I painted some Christmas crafts tonight. I’m not a real crafty guy, but it was fun painting with the girls.
*Levi’s highlight of the day: the laughing gas at the dentist! All 3 kids had appointments today to get their teeth checked. Levi had 3 teeth pulled, and loved it. I don’t remember loving anything about the dentist from when I was a kid, so Dr. Kelly and his staff must be miracle workers.
*Kim and I are trying to meet with all of our youth staffers before the end of the year. Kim spent most of the day connecting with leaders, while I took the day off! She is SO GOOD at mentoring, asking the right questions, listening to people’s hearts…
*Our High School Ministry went Christmas Caroling last Sunday night. We took plates of cookies and Walmart gift cards with us, and braved 20 degree weather as we strolled and sang our way through one of the trailer parks in State College. I didn’t expect many people to want to open their doors to us, since it was so cold. But it was a good night, and we were able to bless some of folks in our community.
*Many of our teens are gearing up for our church trip to the DR. I got a call tonight from one of the trip leaders asking for references for some of those going. Our whole family would love to go. We have fallen in love with the boys in the orphanage, but with our adoption from Ethiopia pending, we can’t pull off a trip to the DR this spring. But we did snag a couple of the boys off the sponsor/prayer wall at the worship gatherings this past weekend!
That’s going to do it for me…what’s good in your life?
