The Young Life Committee is a group of parents that support and lead a lot of the behind-the-scenes and foundational parts of the ministry. Tonight we celebrated the end of the year with committee families and leaders.
I really like life like this- a group of people of all different ages working with this common purpose and being filled with so much joy. This group of adults really love one another and have so much fun when they're together.
As we were winding down the night an offer was made by one of the Dad's- he'd give Susan $100 if she got everyone still in the garage to go jump into the pool with all their clothes on. Not very surprisingly all of the leaders immediately agreed to the challenge (it seems we're just always doing weird stuff like this). After some persuasion we convinced 3 moms and a bunch of kids to join too...
So we all jumped in and it was cold.. because it's still May... so we got in the hot-tub before our very wet drives home.
Here's what I've decided:
When I'm a mom I hope that I will still be willing to jump in a pool in all my clothes, freely give a kid $100 to do something so fun, and be a part of a group of friends like theirs.
