Tripping Along with Friends

We have now confirmed 27 participants on our church trip, but I know there are 8 more who have said they are going with us. We always have a wonderful time on our trips even though I have to work very hard preparing themes, games and devotional plans. I have always looked forward to spending time with my church family and other close friends while traveling. I don't know why many of them turn to me for planning and leading these trips; I am only one lowly member who is humble and wants to please and protect everyone. (Perhaps that has something to do with my chosen career when I had to listen to and look after many, many employees. I always tried to protect each of them from all types of harm). When this trip is behind us, I am considering some other ideas about my retirement years. With God's leadership and Don's counseling, I hope to make some appropriate and wise decisions.
