"Do you take a break from doing good?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

 A group of high school students was doing construction projects and sharing God’s love with inner-city kids. They had worked long hours for several days and needed a break. The hotel where they stayed had a swimming pool so they decided to take a break from “doing good” for a little while and swim.

Well, they were having so much fun in the pool that other folks began coming down, many bringing their kids with them. So instead of taking a break, the teenagers found themselves hoisting kids up on their shoulders and playing with them in the pool.

Soon it was time for the students to get out of the pool. Their break was over. As one young man hopped out of the pool, the mother of the little girl he’d carried on his shoulders came over to him and said, “Thank you for playing with my daughter. She’s an only child, and doesn’t have a daddy or many friends and she’s never had anybody to play with like that.”

You know, even when you think you’re taking a break from doing good, you can still share God’s love.
