AND THE BLESSINGS CONTINUE

As 2018 draws to a close, we reflect on how blessed we have been through the year.  We have been privileged to teach workshops on a variety of topics at different locations, we worked with the UTSA College of Architecture again whose students are so committed to seeing us eventually build "The Dorm," and we have had fun with the youths we serve.  This past Saturday it was our privilege to teach about food safety and to bake cookies.  The commitment of our youths to learn and to care about food safety was evident as they reminded each other to change their gloves and aprons when necessary, and the laughter and joy that we all shared was so infectious and gratifying.  It was three hours of controlled chaos but so worth it.  Kids are kids and they teach us, too, about making the best of a not-so-good situation (most kids would certainly rather be home than in foster care); we learn something and continue to be blessed.
