The only good thing about our amazing elder and staff person, Bob, being out of town for the past couple of weeks was that he was unable to use his tickets to watch the “Lady Zags” game. You see, this worked out great for me because he was kind enough to give his tickets to me! I took my daughter, Addi, who was beyond excited to watch these women play the sport she is already growing to love at a young age. She dreams of one-day playing at a high level and was inspired by the performance of the Zags. Although I’m not excited for my kids to get older and eventually leave me, it’s fun to think about what they will become and what their lives will look like as adults.
On a related note, our awesome deacon and worship leader, Chad, also gave my daughter a special opportunity this past Sunday to sing on the praise team and help lead our congregation in worship. I’m truly thankful to men like Chad, Bob, and many others at Sunrise, who are not only generous and kind, but are dedicated to raising up the next generation of servant leaders in the church. I’m grateful for our people who take seriously the words of Ephesians 4:15 and support our young people, including my own children, as they “grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.”
