A week ago we left for Family Bible Camp up at Mount Carmel in Alexandria, Minnesota. It was a precious time surrounded by both of my families: the Groves and the Harringtons.
Sara and Troy gave a fantastic concert on Wednesday night and at one point Sara sang these words:
It sort of knocked the wind out of me because in that moment I was living out those lyrics. Of course, we weren't all there (we were missing Kyle and Lisa's and Mat and Stephanie's) but my kids had both sets of their grandparents at Bible camp with them. An awesome moment for me. I grew up with both sets of my grandparents at Mount Carmel and here were my kids, one generation later, living in the same richness of family and faith and Jesus and his goodness.
Somewhere I have a picture of me with my four grandparents at Mount Carmel. I am eager to get these pictures in a side by side frame.
The mini week was good. It was so good to be together. And Sara and Troy's teaching was deep and meaty and gave me so much to think about. The summer staff was awesome and alive and the weather was perfect for playing in the lake. A blessed time for sure, and an awesome moment in my life.
