New seasons

What a wondrous time of year spring is! I am always filled with a childlike sense of wonder as the trees begin to bloom and nature seems to pop up everywhere I look and listen. As parents, we can be filled with same sense of awe as our children venture into each new age and stage. Sometimes we forget how hard at work their brains and bodies are---accomplishing phenomenal tasks right before our very eyes. I pray this spring, as your marvel at the spectacular show nature blesses us with, that you will pause for a moment and try to appreciate something about your child(ren) in that same fulfilling way.

Also, the Gathering Place has office space available so please let us know if you might know of any interested parties who are looking for a wonderful place to work and serve the families of north Texas.
