Guess I'm not very good at blogging, since it's been a long time between updates. I had a lot of spilled milk to clean up during that time!! Just today my 14 year spilled a whole glass of milk at breakfast down the tablecloth and onto the floor!
Some of the things I have done for my giving challenge this month.
I have donated food items to go into a military care package, brought peanut butter and jelly to church for our outreach for Kumler food bank, bought bread for breadline Sunday at church to help them, and took snacks for the kids at Nathan's play practice.
While shopping I found the cutest Christmas outfit for my friend Jill's new little girl and got it for her, went together with 2 other friends and got a gift basket for chemo days for my friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer and beginning chemo soon.
With some help from my little ones families we filled 4 shoe boxes to send to Operation Christmas Child. We did 3 girls and 1 boy boxes for ages 5-9. They really enjoyed filling them and giving them to my friend at co-op to take to a drop off site. You usually think of little ones always "wanting" but they were so excited to be "giving".
I took time to care for Laura when she had a bad asthma attack and ended up in the ER. I took a day off work and didn't go to bunco when I felt she needed me more at home. Thank God she is doing better. Very scary for all of us.
Went and stood along Veteren's with my hand over my heart as a fallen soldier was taken to the funeral home. He "gave" his life while my giving is nothing compared to that.
There are a few other things but I want to keep them between God and myself. I feel funny even talking about the things that I've done as they are things I would hope I would do anyway. I am trying to do above what I would to stretch myself this month though.
Anyway I will try and update daily or as often as I can!
