In memory of..
Last night was the funeral for one of my kid's grandfather. Understandably, she was pretty upset. I tried to convey my sympathy and asked her to call if she needed to talk. Hopefully she'll call me or her small group leader if she needs anything.
I also had a chance to talk to one of our youth that has moved out of the area. She's adjusting well, looking forward to the new school next year, but not to thrilled about being away from her friends here. They're looking for another church and I encouraged her to be involved in that youth program. I told her she was welcome to come to our events as well, but she needed to be involved with the youth of the new church. It's painful to tell my kids that, but it's not the first and won't be the last. And it is best for them....besides, I'll eventually see them again and we'll have all the time we need to spend together.
It's conversations like these two where I clearly see how much I love these kids. I'll continue to do what I do and just pray that God uses it to strengthen them and their families.
