It was Treatment Center night -- at 8:00....seems like a late date but so VERY worth it. Our lesson tonight was on Jacob and Esau ---from birth to Jacobs dream. It was a long story but the kids listened well. Our verse was Matthew 6:33.. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. We said it a couple of times and then we got them to sing the song. We discussed how our hearts are full of deceit also....... Then it was time to sing a couple of songs. Mario requested "the one that made me cry". That song is When I am Afraid. And then we had to do the Banana Song several times.
Those kids bless us so much!! They told us that everytime we come they feel so happy -- "it just makes my day". We always get hand shakes - which we are told is a Lakota practice when they appreciate what you are doing. We had been worrying about Cheyenne -- seemed rather withdrawn -- but she was happy tonight and participated for the whole time --- singing too.... Some days she would leave half way through.
They had several prayer requests and so we will pass some of them on to you.......
Connie, Rhiannah, Cheyenne, Dusti, and Mario all want prayers that they stay focused and graduate. ( There seems to be a lot of negative stuff going on and one gal said "I'm hanging on by a thread". If they give up they will end up back in the Juvenile Detention Center and none of them want that.)
They also asked for prayers for their families.
Connie asked for prayers that her bad dreams go away. "Pray that I have happy dreams".
Keep up the wonderful prayers!!!! God IS at work.
Gary and Barb
