Hamper Night

Do you ever have those days that you are SO proud of your kids? I had one of those today! And it wasn't just because they could stack cans, or sort food, or pack boxes, it was their attitudes!

Even little Emily was amazing tonight. She worked with Mrs. Jenna and labelled boxes, distributed toys into boxes and really kept very busy.

There were about 20 of us throughout the night packing, sorting and labelling boxes to give out in our community. I remember as a kid getting boxes at Christmas and how it made our Christmas's so much more quality and precious.
The highlight of the night was when Emily and I delivered our box to the family and as we entered the house Emily looked around and said "Your house is so pretty, I love it"! I loved that!! I personally have been jaded over the years by going into so many of my tenants homes, and it was a treat that my sweet 6 year old reminded me that these people are very precious to God. I love her for reminding me of that with her unconditional love!!

Gabes deliveries had single moms crying with emotion and thanks, It was for sure a good night.
