We had an awesome event at our church tonight! We packaged over 300,000 bags of food, that will be shipped to Africa. It was so much fun, and it's something our family could do together. We had an assembly line and we all had our little parts in this amazing process. After we got done doing our job we headed to one of the best places to eat, Chick Fil A. Maddie loved helping out, and we talked about how blessed we are to have something to eat, when we are hungry and how some kids even though they are hungry have nothing to eat. I love those teachable moments, when your kids really appreciate what they have and want to give back. She was so touched that she wanted to ship her toys, and it just melted my heart! Her prayer for dinner tonight was something like this " Dear, God please let all the kids have food, and bless this food that you gave us. Thanks so much for not letting us go hungry" I pray that all of these experiences help her have a humble heart. Needless to say, after all this I smell like onion powder, but oh well it was for a good cause.
We are so blessed to have food to eat and a warm house, and I pray that every time I start feeling like I "need" something, that I reconsider and remember how truly blessed we are.
