Haircut for Locks of Love

Posted in Family

Munchkin decided that it was time to cut her hair again for Locks of Love. Every few years, she decides to cut her hair for this wonderful cause. It’s been nearly 5 years since the last cut, so her hair has gotten quite long. We were able to cut a very nice ponytail to send to Locks of Love for use in a wig for a child. Munchkin decided she wanted some shorter bangs as well as some layers in her hair after the big ponytail cut. After a little tweaking, we arrived at what she wanted for her new cut.…

Why do we have to wait until they’re teens and then and pack them off on a youth group trip?
Why can’t we let them experience using their gifts in ministry now? 
And why can’t we discover those gifts…
