Thanksgiving 1990

December 10, 2013

Gary, the kids and I were spending our first Thanksgiving at the John 3:16 mission, for the homeless, in Tulsa, OK.  Gary spent  a day or two preparing the kids for the event by sharing the story of Jesus washing feet of the disciples as an example of a servants heart. We were teaching the kids what it meant to love and serve.  Well Melissa being confused spent the next several days upset. We could not get her to express what was going on with her. Thanksgiving day comes and after I get off work we leave for the mission and Miss is fit to be tied! when we finally got her to verbalize her feelings she pointed out that  Dad had explained the "sights and smells" the kids might encounter. She was afraid she was going to have to wash the feet of people she did not know and she wanted no part of it! funny how little kids preceive things. We learned to explain things better for her...
