Counting My Blessings - Day Four

35. Scouts (I realized yesterday that instead of counting new each day, I should be doing a running tally. Hence the number 35 and not 1.). We've been a part of either Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts (or both) for almost six years now and it's been a blessing in the lives of our whole family. The boys have learned many new skills, had lots of fun and made new friends. They've practiced many qualities including leadership, persistence, and respect. We've all had quality family moments together camping, building pinewood derby cars, making cakes, completing service projects, and doing other activities. Hubby and I have had the opportunity to teach "God and Me" and "God and Family" classes several times to both churched and unchurched boys. Scouts has been a blessing to our whole family for many years and hopefully for many more to come.
