Emotional Night

Tonight was the last night of my home group/bible study with these three youth kids. Peter (on the left), Suama (Peter's twin sister in the middle) and Josh (on the right) have been coming over once a week for the last five months or so to talk about what was spoken on Sunday at church. The main purpose was to encourage them to be able to relate the sermon to the bible specifically and to talk about real life application. We have had some amazing conversations and some disagreements as well. These three kids are so close to my heart and we have a real deep connection that I know comes from our shared love for Christ. They are amazing teenagers who really love and want to serve the Lord. They truly seek Him and have a personal relationship with Him. As this was our last night, I gave them each special gifts along with a poster for each of them with pictures of us, a bible verse, some memories and a note. There were tears and hugs. I love thiese kids with all my heart. They are going to do amazing things as adults seeing the amazing things they are doing now!

Josh's gift was a coffee cup and coffee. Josh (or Peter) makes me coffee almost every day. He makes it better than I do. We sit sometimes in the morning when he comes to take care of the garden and have coffee together. He is the oldest of the three and is a blessing.

Tea or coffee is a common theme with this family so Suama also recieved her regular coffee cup. I also gave her one of her favorite romantic movie, The Prince and Me. She is a romantic at heart and we share a love for reading and cheesy girl movies. She is a beautiful girl both inside and out. I think we are kindred spirits.

Peter, Oh Peter! Peter drives me crazy but I miss him when he is gone. He has so much joy and is so funny and fun to be around. We are never short on laughter with Peter. He know the bible so well it is amazing. I gave Peter a chess set because we are chess buddies. He is the only youth I play with. He usually beats me although I insist I am either distracted or letting him win. I think I might miss Peter the most.


I love these guys!
