Day 102 Relishing in the Moments

April 17, 2015
Day 102


The night arrived. The evening was full and overflowing with honor and respect. The time was spent with eighth and seventh grade students serving Veterans at their planned Veterans' Meal. The women who helped to make things run smoothly, after the meal, decided to meet around an outside fireplace and process the moments.  Many of these moments are just simply to be appreciated.

There was so much to speak of, so much to relish in, and so much to be thankful for. The truth the veterans were allowed to share, the lessons they learned, and the heartache they felt was profound.  I promised these children they would never be the same. They now know this to be true.

We must never take for granted our freedom to disagree. This truth was succinctly spoken by Jeremy. Thank you, Lord, for such an amazing day. Thank you, Lord, for such wonderful children. Thank you, Lord, for the veterans you provided us this year! Thank you, Lord, for the amazing women who worked behind the scenes making it happen! Thank you, Lord!
