We look back on these memories and experiences now, feeling stronger and more whole. As once said by our pastor “We start our journey with an empty cup, and by the end, it overflows.” And as we look back on these memories now, we find a sense of longing. We long to have more time to serve in the name of our lord, we long for the feeling that we get from the service, and we long to have so many more memories to be made with the friends that surround us this evening. But as we part our ways at the end of this trip, we will never forget what has happened here in this small week, whether it be from the hours of dedicated service that we put in, or the numerous friendships that have been forged. So when we depart from this circle of fellowship and love, we take the lessons we have learned and bring them into our everyday life, to share them amongst everyone that we know and those that we don’t.

Everything you have will someday be gone. Even if you don’t miss it now, you probably will later. So take pictures and hide them in your memories so you can recall them later after everything that is becomes everything that was. OR I know you’re hurting, even if it’s just when you’re alone and thoughts seem to rush into your head and you can’t seem to keep them from coming in. But there can be beauty in pain; Even though sometimes it’s hard to see.

Some say the world will end in fire,<br /> Some say in ice.<br /> From what I&#039;ve tasted of desire<br /> I hold with those who favor fire.<br /> But if it had to perish twice,<br /> I think I know enough of hate<br /> To say that for destruction ice<br /> Is also great<br /> And would suffice. <br /> -RF
