I'm especially thankful for something new this day of Thanksgiving. My daughter Rachel and I have been seeing our dream and vision for a Dothan Kids for Christ Club come true! It is all we hoped and prayed for, and more. I've been absolutely amazed at the positive response by the parents. It's almost as though they've just been waiting for this to happen. All are volunteering to help in different ways so everybody's working together to make this the very best that it can be. None of us are overly burdened; we all do a little and it all adds up to much. There's usually about 15-20 parents at the weekly meetings! What a blessing!
Our community leaders have been so interested in the children and have really encouraged them. They have all shared from their hearts and have touched our hearts with their messages. I think about the impact being made in the lives of these young people when week after week they are hearing from these highly respected people from the community, trusting in Christ and applying Biblical truths to their lives. The community leaders are modeling for our children lives well lived. It's important. It's really, really important, and I'm very thankful.
