i have the greatest youth ever

the title says it all (except i would add their parents to the list of greatest also). yesterday one of my kids and her mom came by my study with a huge frame in their hands. the frame contained a matted collage of pictures from our recent nicaragua mission trip. it is absolutely amazing. i can't come close to figuring out how much time they spent on making this 3' x 4' montage. there was a card with it telling me how much they appreciate me. of course, they don't realize that it was attitudes like theirs that made the mission trip so tremendous.

i love my kids (and their parents)!
