Ocean Grove Trip

On at hot Tuesday Morning in July, the Residents and Staff of N.Y.C. Rescue Mission embarked on a trip to the Jersey Shore for a day of sun, fan, gospel and entertainment, just to have a nice day at the beach.
While traveling through New Jersey, I was thinking that the day was going to be very boring, so I said a prayer and then I started to look out at the window for something to occupy my mind; the long road ahead was making me fall sleep.
After two hours of riding a bus with out air conditioning we arrived at Ocean Grove beach. From there the fun started: lots of sun sand and plenty of salt water for all to enjoy.
We got a pass from the host of the beach house or pavilion, where we stayed for this short but pleasant day. After we were assigned to our duties, I went to the sandy beach and started to play soccer with my friends. After couple minutes it was sooo hot in the sand that some of the players went to the water for a couple of minutes to refresh themselves, I went too into the cool waters; it was so cool that we went in and out again fast. After a couple times in the water it did not feel so cool; the truth was that it felt nice.
Then about one o clock pm we were called back to the pavilion for regrouping. We were ready for prayers and music. We “the members of the N.Y.C. Rescue Mission Choir” got on stage and the whole event started.
First the introduction, then the prayer; I did the prayer, after the prayer the music began, then the testimonies began, after that the last words and prayer by Mr. James Varnhagan the executive director of the Mission. Then one of the Residents got up and read a poem entitled “Ocean Grove”.
What I’ve learned about the trip is the no matter how bored you are in the morning, after you see a prayer or two your day would change dramatically, even if you have not noticed; the changes are there. So I’ve to give thanks to the one and only responsible for this blessings, Jesus Christ.
