As I was preparing to leave the group home yesterday, some of the boys began to plead with me to stay a few more minutes. I complied with their wishes. To my surprise, the boys in the independent living quarters had baked, frosted and decorated a cake which read, "Thanks Dave". They also made me a large 2-foot square card with all their names. I was touched and surprisingly emotional (rare for me). Before I left I made a point to connect with each boy individually. Surprisingly, the ones who had given me the hardest time were the most emotional.
I pray that something God had given me to invest into their lives will take root and grow. I walked away feeling like I had accomplished something. God is faithful!
