Day 5
The theme for today was "Listen to the Lord." The Bible story was Naaman learning to listen to the word of the Lord and being healed of his leprosy when he bathed in the Jordan.
Yesterday (Tuesday) was tough for us. Our attempts to build relationships with the children seemed to hit a brick wall. Today (Wednesday) was marked by God's grace and we began to see the children respond to our outreach. Difficult kids began to soften, aloof kids began to communicate, and the good kids got even better!
This week is the first week of the entire summer program. As we get used to the routine, so too, the staff and children are adapting. After three days acclimating, we all began to hit our stride. God is good!
