A taste of heaven

Last week we had the privilege of being at SOULS West for a week. David was invited to teach Christian history.

I didn't have to cook or clean for a whole week.

I got to go shopping with Grandma's money (Thanks Grandma!)

I got to be in a place where there are actually trees.

The kids got to ride their bikes every day on pavement, not worrying about popping their tires.

I got to give a worship talk and spend time getting to know students.

 

But best of all, I got a little taste of heaven. If you've ever wondered what heaven will be like, just visit SOULS West for a day. The singing there will get you choked up every time. They had a Talent Show the first weekend we were there and that was really fun.

 

The second weekend they had a banquet which was absolutely delightful. We heard testimonies from students, a song from the choir, a worship talk from Derrick, participated in a foot washing service and ate a very yummy Thanksgiving type meal. The talent, enthusiasm, harmony, love and sincerity during every time we worshipped together surely felt like angels were singing with us. 

 

  

One of the cabins we stayed in was a bit chilly so the kids slept together and what mother can resist snapping a picture of sleeping cuddly children?

The students gave us a toke of their appreciation which included a jar of nuts and tangerines. My kids are nuts about you too!

 All in all, we loved being there. Thanks for the great time SOULS West!
