It was a great week at District Council. Great, but very bittersweet. Lee's parents have been a part of making District Council happen for the past 23 years. This year they have accepted a new job working with college students in Texas, so they are no longer living in Louisiana. That's where the bittersweet part comes in.
On Monday night there was a reception to celebrate their 23 years of service. It was beautifully decorated, and they were able to see a lot of the friends they have made over the years. Lee and I were both able to share a little bit of how much they meant to us...both as parents and as spiritual leaders. They both have been the primary mentors for us as ministers.
This was the end of an era. It was hard having the change. Even for Bella...she didn't quite understand why her Nana and PopPop were not at the campground at the same time she was.
Lee and I have learned so much about being ministers and doing ministry as a family from both of our parents. We are blessed to have the parents who love us and support us. I am very thankful for that today.
