My Kids...

Here are just a few pictures of 'my kids'. I've had two youth groups in our neighbourhood doing a chalo week these past couple weeks and for clarification I've just starting to referring to the neighbourhood kids as 'my kids', and somehow it just feels right. I don't think I can explain adequately how much joy these little ones give to my heart. Everynight the youth group comes together and we do high-lights (the best part of the day) and low-lights (the worst). I just wanted to share with you my little high-light from yesterday. I was down in Kids Club making supper and usually we keep the window closed cause we'll have like 8 kids trying to get in through the window but I opened it up and no children seemed to notice except for this one little sweetheart. She came and sat their while me and a couple other girls were making supper, she sang for us and chatted with us as I snuck her some cheese we were putting in the salad. She would smile and then just keep talking. My words do not do justice for the beauty that was in this simple little moment...

Anyway, here's some pictures of these little ones that make me smile. (I stole some from Erica's folder on the computer, thanks E for the beautiful pics)

Can I call them my kids too - I mean, I know I've been gone awhile, but does the fact that I miss them like nothing else count for something? Oh dear Dana... when will the busy-ness end???? Say hello to my lovelies for me!

Hey Dana
Just wanted to say thanks again for the awesome week! It is awesome to see your heart and love for those kids. Even just being there this past week, it was something I will always remember and has for sure impacted me, more then I think I will ever know. So thanks so much for the experience and challenges you set out for us! God Bless!
