Recently I was writing an email to the teens, parents and leaders involved in the youth ministry I work in at my church. After thanking them all for their hard work, dedication and involvement this summer I went on to attach a few pictures to recap the different things we'd done in the last few months and that got me to thinking... summer is basically over.
I know some of you probably still have a few more trips to take or are working to finish up those last few projects. And if you're in the Southern Hemisphere of our fine world then you're probably looking forward to the end of winter. But for me I'm staring around the corner, just waiting for the rain and the colors of turning leaves that mark this autumn season on the West Coast.
It has been a crazy summer friends. I know I've shared a little bit, my road trip, the youth retreat, I was at a concert last week, got to go on some beautiful hikes, hung out with some great friends and got to know some of them amazing teenagers in our group at church. It has been so much fun! It's been busy but it's been really awesome and I am so glad that it's almost over!
The Bible says in all things to give thanks. So my thanks is that the summer was so successful and full of so much fun and that it's almost over so I can shift my attention to other things. Cooler, weather, get together's with family and my favorite time of year, Christmas!
What are you thankful for today? A few more weeks of summer? The end of summer? Or something else entirely?
