YoungLives....2012

Last weekend I attended a local meeting of the YoungLives program and had the pleasure of photographing these great Mom's and their children. 

The Syracuse YoungLives group was started in 2005 and is a Christian outreach program for pregnant and parenting teens. It's such a wonderful program! 

Transportation is provided giving these mom's a chance to spend time with each other...the children are cared for by volunteers in a fun, loving atmosphere. 

YoungLives is always looking for volunteers...If your interested in helping out or know a teen mom that would like to  check out the program...you can contact

Thanks Ladies for the great afternoon.

i hope you don't mind that I put down the words....

                                         how wonderful life is..while you're in the world...

deep in a meadow, under the willow...a bed of grass, a soft green pillow...lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes..and when again they open, the sun will rise...

here it is safe, here it's warm...here the daisies guard you from every harm. Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true...here is the place where I love you.
