Exhausted, Yet Fulfilled

Wow, what an exhausting, yet fulfilling day today was. Church this morning was special, due to a group of men who came in and filled the church with the praises of rockin, acapella, gospel music. Then our youth group time was extra special as well, because we had asked one of the teens to teach the lesson today, and he did an exceptional job! He put a lot of effort into putting his lesson together, and he presented it very well. I am so very proud of him for a job well done.

Typically after church, we eat, and come home and get a bit of a nap in.......not today. First we spent time setting up for tonight's Thrive, and then we went out to lunch but again, today was special because we had one of the teenagers with us for the day. We enjoyed our time with her. It is always great to get some more special, personalized time with the teens.

Then, after a short time at home, it was time to go back to church for Thrive. The lesson was about forgiving those who have done you wrong, because if you continue to carry that "luggage" around with you too long, the day may come where you no longer get to forgive the person who did you wrong, and it would be such a shame to carry that with you throughout your life. Think of how nice it would be to be able to quit carrying that heavy luggage!! Anyway....the lesson was great and the music was rockin....it is ALWAYS a special time

Now, I am at home, relaxing, finally, and reflecting on the day. It was such a tiring day...since I did not get my nap in....LOL.......but yet, the day was so fulfilling. There were so many special things that happened today.....I feel tired...but I feel blessed!
