A New Understanding by Cliff (a pilgrim)
When I left home on this Wonder Voyage for our youth group’s first
pilgrimage, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Our physical destination was
Dallas, Texas, but the place my heart and mind were taken was so much more.
I had been to Dallas before, having family that lives there. I didn’t
expect to see and experience more than he “boring old city” that it
was the last time I was there. The spiritual experience came enough
when the people we were serving really enjoyed us being here, and one grateful person even sang a blessing over us!
I had never been too fond of the elderly up to this point, but working
with them for a solid 3 days has brought me new insight. The elderly,
though seemingly foregin to a teenager, have an immense understanding of how everything goes in life. They have advice for almost every life situation, and given the time, you should listen to them.
This Wonder Voyage has been a wonderful opportunity for our group to experience the amazingness of Gods presence. I want to thank God for bringing me here for a reason.
