Meaningful Moments

Nicki had one very meaningful moment while on the trip that she wanted me to share. Everywhere the choir sings they are usually blessed to be able to receive a warm meal before departing. They always "sing" their grace, and then serenade the people who feed them with a special "thank you" song. While in Miami the music professor had actually brought the students pizza before a performance, so that when the time came to feed afterwards many of the kids were not hungry (including Nicki). They decided to take their box lunch and give it to a homeless person on the street. The man that Nicki approached saluted her, accepted the food and said "I love you" and thank you. Nicki said it brought her close to tears (those of you who know her know this is not an easy thing to do). I posted earlier in the week that I can tell that my child is changing, that she is growing up. I thank the Lord that he placed such warm, caring children into my life. This is not a testimony of a parent, but of my children who are providing their own testimony based on their own personal relationship with Christ, and for that I am very thankful and feel richly blessed beyond words.
