Today was absolutely incredible and beautiful. We had the chance to bless and play with the Passion kids at the Passion Olympics. It's a day where we prepare six different events that the kids compete in, resulting in one champion in each event. We played games like, a foot race, crab walk, and bean bag toss. As the day went on, more and more kids poured in. Towards the end, there was probably about 250 kids participating!
Not only were we able to spend time with the Passion kids, but also the Child Headed Households. This was a day where they could let go of all their responsibilities and have a chance to actually be a kid, when they never had a chance of a childhood.
My favorite part of the day was walking around the field hand in hand with Blessings and Maliko. "Ten thousand reasons" started to play in the background over the PA system.
"Bless The Lord oh my soul, oh my soul. Worship His holy name. Sing like never before, oh my soul. Worship His holy name"
As I walked I saw Gods beauty in the blue skies, rolling hills, but mostly in the laughter and smiles of the kids. There was a certain joy that was radiating from the field. Our team was filled with energy while the staff had a chance to relax and play games as well. I can not explain the feeling of pure joy as we walked worshiping the name of our Lord.
