Highs and Sighs

Every summer my youth group goes on a mission trip. We never know where we are going and we don't know what we will be doing. The whole point of the trip is to meet new people and to have an experience. So all day we try and make the best of whatever it is we are doing. Then at the end of the day we meet up with your Youth leader Norm, and he asks us the same question. He asks us what our highs and sighs of the day were. So we sit there and go around and basically say something that was good about our day and maybe something that was not so good. The only thing was that you could not have a sigh unless you had a high to go with it. The whole point was to be able to see how blessed we are and how much god has given us. Luckily it always goes well and everyone is able to take something good out of the day. Now we use this for our everyday lives. He tells us to take everyday as something good even if it wasnt, to try and look at what we are given and try and make it great.

Little Things
It is funny how we do things,
We act before we think!
We live our lives oblivious,
To all the little things.
These little things are like leaves,
But they are more than that.
They are trees, trees full of branches.
The branches are full of life, and dreams.
These dreams we have, are of joy and happiness.
So when we take all the little things,
And put them together, we have love.
That is what this is; it is love, an action and a feeling.
Something we do without thinking,
And it all started with these
Little things.
