Thankful Thursday is being hosted by Iris at Grace Alone during the month of December. Be sure to visit other posts listed for Thankful Thursday.
We are having a very busy time of year. Each day is packed with school, ministry, and life. This year, our family has begun a new venture as part of homeschooling. Our daughter has joined the local Action Impact Missions team (AIM San Diego West). This is a discipleship ministry that shares the gospel through mime, dance, and drama. It is made up mostly of homeschool students; however, it is open to all youth.
I am thankful for this ministry in our lives, particularly my daughter's. After ten years of serving with Word of Life clubs and Teens Involved, I miss being a part of the service portion of a preteen or teenagers life. Mentoring and teaching others ways to serve Christ is an amazing task. I had been praying for a service activity similar to Teens Involved for our daughter. AIM San Diego West is the answer to that prayer. Last evening I was watching the young people share their presentations with a retirement community. The seniors enjoyed the visit. Watching the people and children, I was reminded of many times working with, teaching, judging, and watching many Teens Involved presentations. It's different for me now. Now, I'm the parent watching and supervising while someone else disciples and teaches my child.
So, it is with a thankful heart, I praise the Lord for answered prayers and the opportunity to serve Him.
