I love these kids.....

Many of you know that I have been active in the youth and children of our church for many years. I was even the youth director for several. I pulled completely away from it back early in the spring. I have missed these kids.


I recently started working with them again in some ways. I have just ressurected the toddler Sunday School Class. 3 and 4 year olds. I also have been drafted into service for the Chirstmas Program. Last night I handled the elementary school bunch.

We discussed helping people through prayer and encouragement. We also started a banner to send to St. Louis to a man who has been paralyzed in a work accident.


Each of the kids was given a batch of cards to decorate. After the glue dries I will add lettering and string these into a banner with an encouraging message.


Nothing like paint - glitter - glue to keep some kids busy.


This has been missing from my life. I didn't even know I missed it. I love these kids.



I am tickled to share a small quote from a blog post of another lovely. I am determined to live this life less ordinary and you really need to take this side trip to see the entire journal entry from a 17 year old. If we all would absorb even a tiny bit of what this kid (actually his mom) has to share with us, everyone's life would be so much better.

a tiny bit of the journal entry....

just remember that the people around you do not make you who you are, you choose who you are around those people."

So take a trip and see. INSPIRED READING

Today I have on the feel good clothes - feminine, soft, slightly bohemian - and yes there has been much teasing about my attire. I have just endured all of the "funny looking clothes" comments. As a part of the decision to live less ordinary - I will wear those things that make me feel like me. Love the way this all feels so I really don't care what anyone thinks.

I hope you have a wonderful day.
