As part of the Thanksgiving Club, I spoke on being thankful. We also talked about what we are thankful for. At the end of the talk, we had everyone take a piece of paper and a crayon and draw or write what they are thankful for. The things that came out of the time are amazing. Leaders got to go around and help our students express their thoughts and feelings in pictures and words. Below are some of those expressions....
Success, so simple and yet so profound. We forget about the little things.
Being thankful for everything and God and Jesus
Family & God Forgave Me
This last one is extra touching, especially right now...
Thankful to be ALIVE......
This last one is from one of our friend's Andrew. Andrew has gone under many many surgeries. In fact he shouldn't be alive even today. He is literally beating the clock everyday he wakes up.
Andrew had to have another surgery on Thanksgiving day, while visiting family in Chicago. He is still there now. He is doing good but isn't well enough to fly home. Please be praying for Andrew and his family.
Andrew isn't our only friend who is beating the clock. We have numerous friends in Young Life who are a living miracle.
Thank You for helping us reach out to these friends.
Thank You for making an impact.
We at Young Life are especially THANKFUL for you!!
