A comment left that can't be missed....

Carol left a comment on "The Walk" that just needs to be seen. I can't leave it in the comment section because it is TOO important to be missed. After reading it, I had to read it again because I couldn't see the screen from the tears. Yes it was an amazing evening and no amount of teaching or being the best parent on earth could teach this lesson. Many children that evening learned something invaluable - as did the adults - Christmas is all about giving. God gave us His son - Jesus and He is the reason for the season.

Thanks Carol for your comments and thoughts. Totally AWESOME!

I think the Angel Tree night was awesome. I really think it was a life-changing evening for our kids. Kids who have a comfortable life and don't know any need. Kids who always have a warm bed, a roof over their head, and a hot meal at dinner-time. Kid who cannot imagine not having a Christmas Present under the tree.So here is what these children were presented with: Pick an Angel and shop for them. Sounds Easy Enough....NOT. On a small Angel postcard is a wealth of information - the child's first name, age, clothing size, shoe size and wish list items! Our teams (Adult and child) have one chance to make Christmas magical for a child we are holding in our hands. The child comes to life through our children. I worked with Kyle and we picked boys who were his age. We studied the Wish List ~~ and he went to work, like ALL the kids did. With Passion. Finally understanding that the things he placed in that plastic bag would be the only things that boy got this Christmas. So it became personal. A quest to find the BEST gift that would bring happiness, for at least, one morning. This is another example of a life experience that we could have never shown to our son, or the other children with us that evening, without experiencing it. I can't even begin to tell you about ALL the blessings that have been going on within our family, our Rock Group, our Church....but we are being blessed by blessing others... that is really the true reason for the season.
