I live in Florida which is very different than my previous home in the north Georgia mountains. In the mountains, you get stunning views everyday. I remember in my old town when you crested over main street, you could see a huge stunning range of mountains. The view was just as beautiful when I left as it was when I came. Florida does not have this. But soon a friend told me look at the thunderheads and you will see the beauty of this place.
Thunderheads you see, are giant storm clouds that go thousands of feet in the sky. They are all unique and special and are only around for a couple of minutes before they disperse. The best part is that they are beautiful.
What keeps me in student ministry is that all kids are unique and beautiful. On top of this, they are not a permanent fixture. They stay for a few years and then go out into the world. Old kids who you never think can be replaced leave and new kids who blow you away come in and joy is felt by the person who is steady watching kids come and go.
