The Butterfly Effect - Day 4

     Today we talked about "Powerful People."  Not people that are powerful on their own, but because they have lifted up their challenges to God and let God show His power through them.
     We talked about the difference Joni Eareckson Tada is making in the world.  She cannot walk and has limited use of her arms, but she is an amazing artist, an excellent speaker, and has made a huge difference in people's lives all over the world.  What a wonderful testimony she is to God's power.
     We were blessed to listen to the beautiful music of Tony Melendez.  It didn't take the children long to realize that he plays the guitar with his feet since he doesn't have any arms.  We talked about all of the things he does with his feet, so in honor of Tony, we all took our shoes off and spent the morning barefoot!  Everyone enjoyed that!
     Lastly, we met Nick.  Nick is a young man that was born without arms or legs, but what a wonderful testimony he has of how God is using Him to reach the world.  The children loved hearing that he can swim even though he does not have any limbs.
     It was a very inspiring morning listening and learning from such powerful people. Join us tomorrow for our guest speaker!
