I sit here tonight contemplating the last week and what baby steps we have taken at Treasures of JOY.
Our Sunday celebrations are growing. In May, we averaged 35 Treasures per service. On June 10th, we reached an all time high of 48 and then on Father's Day we reached 43 with many out to be with family. I am so excited about the new Treasures that God is bringing to our service each week. With each new Treasures I know that we are touching families and growing Disciples.
We started golf practice last week and had 16 athletes for the first practice. Yeah Treasures, you far exceeded my expectations.
We are waiting for Bocce practice to start, "rain, rain, go away JOYce's Treasures want to go out to play". Well I know Houston needs the rain, but I sure want to get Texercise and Bocce practice started.
So tonight, after another storm cancels Texercise and Bocce, I have a moment to sit and think about where we are and where we need to be. I see clearly how God has stepped in and opened Heaven to fulfill His Vision for Treasures of JOY. He created ALL in his image, so my Treasures with the disabilities are the same as all others - IN HIS IMAGE. Through the many events that we are participating in within the community, we are providing the community a chance to see our Treasures. I have always wanted the world to see that Treasures of JOY have value in the community and all have a purpose - now as the community sees them they will understand Treasures are just people - just like you and me.
Thank you, Lord, for Open Heaven - thank you for the blessings you are pouring out on us; and now equip these earthen vessels to complete all that You have set before us.
