Sending Prayers

During JAM week last week, each day represented something fun we were going to do for our relationship with Jesus.  Friday was "Send prayers to God." Along with our family picnic we had a balloon release to really give the kids a visual representation of prayers going to heaven. They each dictated to their teacher what they wanted to pray about and then we tied them to the balloons.

I have to admit, while we were tying the prayers onto the balloons it was hard not to get a little choked up. They are so sincere and so sweet and it shows that they really know God takes care of important things, like our families, or our favorite toys, and especially us.

Then I went outside with over 100 balloons in my hand to pass out and I got to play chase with some of our toddlers.  It has to got to be one of my all time favorite memories here at Holly Tree!  Running around the playground with a ton of balloons in my hand watching two year olds chase me with their arms straight out. What a fun day, surrounded by so much love. This, we will certainly be doing again.
