Promises from God Leave Me Greatly Blessed

I helped out as a crew leader for my home church (in California) and felt blessed in being there to walk alongside children seeing the greatness of the love of God as we saw each day's theme being demonstrated through our activities and sharings of my little friends. 

I experienced with them the truths that:

1 God has the power to provide

2 God has the power to comfort

3 God has the power to live

4 God has the power to forgive

5 God has the power to love us forever 

and was reminded that these promises never expire and is true for everyone.

Getting to stay in touch with my friends at school, I've heard handfuls of ways God has blessed them this summer. I know it's an intentional plan by God that I wasn't working at camp back South this summer and got to go home.

The days are getting longer in the summer and time is going by quicker cummulatively and it's great to get a glimpse of the little things (by living in it) before we blink and another half a year has passed.

I'm thankful that everyday is another day to know a loved one better and learn to love them better. I am thankful that I have a handful of people that I stay in touch with across 2,000 miles through these months. I am thankful all the warm smiles I get to exchange with people in my church family, appreciating the familiar humor from familiar that bring belly laughs, and the free (empty of homework) time I can guiltlessly leisure read, stay in with no set agenda, and getting to sleep in occasionally.

Right now, I'm listening to Tom Petty's album "Highway Companion" on my portable CD player with my compiyer off. I'm looking forward to more restful evenings like this.
