Sabbath!!

So today has been pretty epic. it started with a crazy rush to make it to church and Sabbath school - which both were interesting. Then I ate lunch at the cafe and got a quick 20 min nap before taking off to go sing at a nursing home.
It was special to go go do that again. It seems like forever ago that as a pathfinder group the adults would dress us all up in Uniforms and march (and drag) us to the various nursing homes for an afternoon of sunshine banning - Not my favorite activity as a kid. But somehow doing it today rang a different bell. It was nice. After we sang for a bit a guy got up and talked about Hope. - its something that is unique to humans and in someways is the energy behind many actions - even though hope itself will not make X thing occur, it is its own fuel. We have Hope in Jesus coming, and while just having that hope does not make the gospel spread (and thus His return sooner) it is what fuels my passion for mission. I have a message, a responsibility and so how can I keep silent?

I spent the rest of the day climbing trees, throwing and catching a football, laughing with friends, attending Asian Night (which was AMAZING) and smiling wayyyy too much (haha Jk)
It was a good day.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
