growing up with the same group of people at church, the guys and gals have become like extended family to me. things are so comfortable, so easy, always there. while on one hand, that's really nice, on the other, it's terribly easy to take them for granted.
over the summer, the guys made a series of "appreciation cards" for the girls where they took a group picture from summer retreat and made up personalized poems for each of the girls. well, today, i finally got mine (only 'cuz my attendance at fellowship is inconsistent at best). and can i just say, i'll be keeping this for a long time to come! nine lines of poetry brought so much encouragement to my heart, just as i was getting tired and worn out...
SALT boys: thank you, thank you, thank you. if i could give each of you a hug, i would. so consider these words a verbal hug. :)
today, i was reminded of the wonderful gift of encouragement.
because their poem was just so good, i'm going to share it (hope y'all don't mind!):
with your voice and a shaker
leading praises for our maker
your godliness inspires.
a page of daily reflections
reveal a heart of passion
your godliness inspires.
bible studies and mission trips
pointing to God's gracious gift
your godliness inpires.
