The stories that could be told

We went to the Faith mission tonight. It is so wonderful seeing our children being used of God. Teaching them to be a Servant for God's work is one of the most important messages Pastor Elms taught! My Children remember this message and talk about it often. Tonight Our kids made us PROUD! Well from the moment we got to the mission the kids had their aprons on and worked very hard. Filling bowls with peach cobbler. Setting the table and of course eating. But then came the proud moments that makes a momma cry! During the service they set right in the middle of the people. Worshiping and singing with all their hearts!!! Then they went to the dinning hall and SERVED!!! They filled everyone's tea glasses Many times. Then Seeing Mason & Howie playing with the children and Madison oooohing over the babies. Howie was right in the middle of all this serving up tea and helping out were ever he could. The kids bring joy to a room. Where joy is not always found. These people have so many stories. One lady with 2 little boys said she just moved here. She has a car to her name and that is it. She is just looking for a fresh start. We were able to talk awhile and she is going to bring her children to church Sunday. Looking for that fresh start! Others just needed to get a jump start in life. I heard Madison tonight giving advise to a man. I listened waiting to step in if needed. But I didn't have to she made me proud. A sweet man was commenting on how nice it was of her to serve the tea. She told him well its what the Lord would do for you. He looked at her puzzled that a child would know this. Then she told him I know life is hard right now but God can help you if you just trust him. My family had to live in a trailer for awhile while my dad was out of a job. God took care of us and gave my daddy a good job and we never went hungry. If you trust God he can help you get where you need to be. I know that the Holy Ghost was speaking through our children this evening and showing others a God that wants to change the stories of their lives. I did not have to to step in on this conversation. I stood back in amazement at the work God was doing. Thanks Pastor Elms and Pastor Holley for all you have put into our children. Its not just the parents and our life stories that have taught these things. Many people were touched tonight. Hopefully some lives will be changed. I am looking forward to the new stories we will hear next time we go.
