Sorry to be coming to you a little late about our day yesterday. We are keeping a tight schedule. We began our day a little sluggish but our morning glow team challenged us to "keep our heads". We listened to Andy Grammer's song " keep your head up" and prepared ourselves physically and spiritually to greet the workday.
We continued to work on the thrift store, dollhouses, landscaping and daycamp. Two new projects, organizing the eqipment room and cleaning all the daycare toys for an EHS inspection were added. After a long, hot, tiring day of work, the showers were wonderful! We cooked our evening meal of tacos and ice cream sundaes, and it was enjoyed by all and a much needed night in.
After some downtime, we enjoyed a very meaningful and significant devotion session. We began the evening as we began our morning, playing "Keep Your Head Up" to help us center and focus. One line in the song states, "after rainbows must come rain and know the sun will shine again". So in our daily work teams we discussed our rain (messes) and then our rainbows of the day and where we saw our SON shining. After we celebrated our rainbows we began our personal journaling session.
We listened to the song "Angel by Your Side" and were reminded that each day we walk with angels by our side (God and the people on this trip), as well as other angels who are already in heaven, who continue to guide and inspire us. After journaling about those angels that keep our cups overflowing and reciting the 23rd Psalm, we affirmed our graduated seniors with blessings and communion from Jim and Becky. Then, as a way to symbolically pass the torch to the rising seniors, the graduates served our 12th graders with communion. The expanded leadership team served the rest of the group and then we discussed what an amazing experience it was to serve and be served. We closed with the UMYF Benediction.
