Reflection……….by Kevin Gorney
(Juarez 2006)
Where Did I see God?
It was in the hearts of
every teen, and their willingness to give all they had to God’s
people.
It was in the YouthWorks!
Staff that I will never forget and hopefully continue to talk to … a
group of people I can call true friends and true inspirations.
It was in my small
group, and their actions on worksite and their interactions with
every one
… true works of God
It was in the voices of
our group during Club…
It was in the chance I
had to work side by side with Antonio.
It was in the Jesus
Cross, that Deacon Dad created back in 1999 and gave them as a gift,
which still hangs in their church as their centerpiece.
It was in my new found
friendships amongst the group that I will continue to treasure and
never lose.
It was in seeing all of
our skills and traits being put to perfect use.
It was in how I still
had to shower using empty water jugs because the boy’s showers just
lost pressure right before I stepped in to cleanse myself.
It was in my daily
talks/reflections about daily thoughts and events I had with other
leaders.
It was in the sandstorm
and its timing with our events … and it was in the rain that
followed, and continued to cleanse our hearts.
It was in Padre and the
heart of the community
It was in the endless
humor. · It was in the heat.
Do I dare continue? I do!
It was the bonding we
all had. · It was in being able to capture you on film.
It was in hearing you
speak, or attempt to speak Spanish.
It was seeing some of
the teens and how they have grown since I was still in the group.
It was on the Hill.
It was in the Orphanage…
Let’s face it…God’s Grace
was over abundant.
So I saw God… Did you?
