Love the Little Moments

Good morning to everyone -

This computer does not have a 'period' key - thus the reason for the fragments

Today is the second day of our work sites

Our theme word for today is "love" from our phrase, "My theme song is God's love and justice and I'm singing it back to you God"

Today our challenge is to love the little moments - but given our experience yesterday, that will not be hard

Some little moments we loved yesterday were:

Meeting refugees from Rwanda, Sudan and Somalia Seeing their joy Their spirit of forgiveness and God's grace was a blessing to all

The beauty of Nashville - magnolias, oleander, mimosa trees

Seeing two of our FriendsLife friends - Molly and Brian - and their love for each other Brian is a hugger and encouraged us all

Meeting Alan, from the Campus for Human Development, who is seven months into his recovery process He was an engineer with a master's degree who fell into the cycle of addiction He was so honest with us

Greeting Nick George who has biked through a couple of states already

Welcoming Pam McNeely and Carly - as Carly moves to Nashville

Having Henry Reed work along with us

Seeing a group of young college grads who had the vision for FriendsLife while serving at YoungLife Capernaum which is a summer camp for kids with disabilities

Those are some of the little moments!

Tonight we are looking forward to an 'entertainment' night - The Country Music Awards, here in Nashville, will be one ve

nue The other will be 'Walk the Line' - the story of Johnny Cash - whose sister we met at the Cowboy Church

Tonight Mark Dobish and his girlfriend Julia will join us for dinner

Last night there were tornado warnings through TN - here in Nashville we were fine

Thanks for your prayers I should have ended every sentence with an exclamation mark (since no periods are available) because we are having an exclamation mark kind of week

peace, Lisa
