That Youth Thing

You touched my heart

Reading Time: < 1 minute

I had the honor of sharing with an awesome youth group last night up at Main Street United Methodist Church in Kernersville, NC.  We got to play some pretty fun games like 4 Square, Drop the Keys, Do You Love Your Neighbor, and Sardines (you can see how to play these and more at That Youth Thing).  We enjoyed high caloric intake together around some pretty wicked sundaes, and then I got to share with them about how God wants to use them to reach their generation for Jesus.  All in all, it was a great night.

The best part of the night, though, was watching how they got along, especially how they made a point to look out for each other.  I was really blessed at how one young lady made it her personal mission to look out for another young man who could have easily been thrown aside as different from everyone else.  I’ll tell you what I told her: her example was one of the best I’ve seen of how we should love the body of Christ in the 2 and a half years I’ve been doing this traveling thing.  Having the brother that I had in Stephen made it all the more impacting.
