God is a Haven

What a wonderful Lord's Day. I spent it at a camp that is a haven for at risk children from threw out the state of Michigan. My husband and I traveled up for a dinner that the camp gives once a year to say thank you for the donations of help, toys, and money. During the meal the kids who were there for a weekend camp sang and talked about an Alsome God and what He can do for the kids. They talked and sang about what they have learned about Him and how God forgives no matter the sin. Also, they talked about the Resurrection of Christ after 3 days and what a haven they have with God. At the end of their program they handed out pictures of themselves and asks those given a picture to pray for them. We were given a picture of a good looking 11 year old black boy by the name of Malik, whose life at home I can imagine is not a happy or safe one.

At the same time we got to see our two daughters and son-in-law. I enjoy seeing them in person. We talk to them all the time on the phone, but it is real good to see them and visit. We are blessed to have our children happy and doing what they want to do with their lives.
