My mom is great! She has taught me some really great things. One of my favorite things about her is the way that she loves and serves people. She definitely has the spiritual gift of hospitality and I want to be like her.
This weekend I have been at the Worldwide Student Network (WSN) Conference for our students who are going on an International Summer Project. It's amazing to see how many students are being called overseas to reach students for Christ! We have about 90 students here going to East Asia, Botswana, Kazakhstan, Australia, Venezuela, and North Africa. This is the first weekend they have met together as a team and are getting to know one another. It's fun to see them begin to bond!
To connect the two thoughts.....
I have had the privilege of feeding all of these students and staff this weekend. Between breakfasts and lunches and dinners, I have traveled to and from the grocery store a 1/2 dozen times and made sure every one here has a happy belly! But all this to say, my mom taught me so much about caring for people in this way. Between all of the cookouts and get togethers at our house, the parties, and snack supers at church, she has taught me a ton! I have so much to learn, but am SO THANKFUL for her!
