giving is letting go

Ok, so this is really going to sound like a strange thing to a lot of you, I'm sure. My give today was my hardest give yet. It really wasn't even mine to give. It began a few weeks ago, my 7 year old daughter who has never had her hair cut, walked into my room, ready to give an announcement. "Mom," she said, "I want to cut my hair and give it to Locs-of-Love." My heart sank, as I smiled and said what a wonderful idea that was!

Peanut Butter Cups

Todays give was quite an accident. My daughter asked for some money to go get some lunch with her friends.

Serving Up Appreciation
Posted on October 14, 2008 at 6:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes
This month is the official Pastors Appreciation Month. My family and a few friends, put together an "Appreciation Day" for our church Pastors, Staff, and their families. It was an awsome day. The weather was perfect, great food, fellowship, and games all day long. And we got to see the competitive side of our Pastors during a "friendly" volleyball game. It was tons of fun serving, appreciating, and giving to those who give to us on a regular basis.
