From Sean and Julie Smith:
We have been talking to our oldest daughter Brighton about serving others since before the Summer of Serve started, and I've been challenging her to think of ways that she can serve others even as a kid. Well, she came up with an idea while talking to Julie about a week and a half ago, and they (along with our other two little girls) put it into action this past Monday.
Julie, Brighton, Berkeley and Boston all headed over to Second Mile (a ministry connected to UBC that serves the poor and needy in the community) Monday morning and set up a lemonade stand on the front porch. They gave away free lemonade, water, popsicles and cookies all morning long to everyone that came to Second Mile.
It may seem like a small thing, but it is pretty awesome to see kids "get it" that serving others doesn't have to be complicated. It can be just a smile, a cup of cold lemonade and a reminder that God loves you, even when life is hard.
Love this. Such good stuff.
