This was a two-hour event at our church sponsored by women's ministries. Abbie (my amazing co-leader this morning) and I had 10 young girls in attendance. The youngest girl there was almost five years old and the oldest was a freshman in high school. We had each of the older girls "buddy" with a younger girl, which helped out a lot.
We talked about three spiritual practices that help us grow closer to God (lectio divina, praying with imagination, and taking prayer walks), had a snack, and then decorated shoes to use as props for the women's pilgrimage next weekend.
I believe that the girls all had a good time and might even remember some of the things we talked about. :)
As for me: If I have a muscle, then that muscle is sore. If I have a moving joint, then that joint is creaking. If I have two eyes, then those eyes are slamming shut.
I love my little friends, but they have tons more energy than I do. TONS!
And although I am weary, I LOVED my time with Abbie and the girls this morning. We may even do it again. :)
Blessed.
