off to great places

Have you ever read the book “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. Suess? What an encouraging little ditty! This book reminds me of the opportunities we have each weekend to serve children. We have the privilege of helping families and children on their faith journey. We can take them to a hot airy desert where manna fell from the skies, we can take them lakeside where a young boy shared all that he had, we can take them to prison where a prisoner sang praises to the almighty God, oh the places we will go when we decide to serve God with all we’ve got!!

My favorite lines from the whole book are;

And will you succeed?

Yes! You will, indeed

(98and ¾ percent guaranteed.)

So….

be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray

or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O’Shea,

you’re off to Great Places!

Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting.

So…get on your way!

The weekend is here, will you succeed? Yes! You have Christ in you and you are serving His children! So, go……get on your way! Pray for the children and their families, love them when they arrive, model for them what it means to serve Christ, send them away with a hug or a high 5 telling them you can’t wait to see them next week!

Oh yes, I do love the Lord with all my heart, soul, mind and strength! Let’s serve together, amazing children's team!!!!!

Faith, Hope & Love
