Earlier tonight, TK and I , along with both boys, went with our church to deliver stockings to children and hams to their families. It was very humbling and seeing the children get excited, just made my heart excited! Brantley, being only 7, is a very loved child with many grandparents and parents that spoil him! I wanted him to go tonight to see how exciting it was for these children and how much they appreciated all that we did for them. I do not think that Brantley was too young to see this. I think it is important to be involved in community work and volunteer, even as a young child.
Each Wednesday night, our church does a bus ministry to a part of Birmingham, that most would never enter- much less pick a child up and carry them to church and bring them home. On Wednesday nights when we pick up the kids, they are brought to the church, given a good meal, and then they break off into small groups to learn Bible verses and have Praise and Worship time. These kids are so excited to come each Wednesday! Tonight, they were waiting by the door for us to get there! They were so excited that they would have a special gift!
These kids have really taught me tonight to be thankful for how I was raised and how BLESSED I am! My husband has such a kind heart and is such a great Godly man, these children love him so much! Mr. T.K.!!!! all the kids yell, when they see him!
Kinda like Starbucks- pass along the cheer! I encourage everyone to do somekind of volunteering before the holidays are up. It will make you very happy- especially if you can touch someone's life!
