A MOM'S PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE AT NOEL

A MOMS PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE AT NOEL

 

One of the main reasons we joined Noel is so our sons, ages 9 and 11 at the time, would have a great group of kids to hang around and keep them grounded as they grew.  There are many times as parents that we second guess ourselves on the decisions we make, so when one of them turns out to be right, it is truly a blessing.  This past weekend at the end of summer youth retreat, Come to the Cross, I got a full day of witnessing how wonderful a church family can be.  This was a day full of swimming, skiing, tubing, and tons of food, but is was also a day memories are made of.  Our boys have had four years in this church and the relationships they have developed will stay with them for a lifetime.  From building with our Pastor in North Carolina and working in the kitchen with grandmothers to playing trench ball in the gym, my boys have had the privilege of witnessing God’s hand in so many age ranges, cultures and situations.  We are truly blessed to belong to this family of faith.  I take great comfort in knowing that there are strong friendships here that my children can rely on for guidance and support when they need it.  A mother couldn’t ask for anything more.
