Give-Away Day....

Tomorrow is give-away day at my church and I love this day. Every year, all year we collect items like coats, furniture, diapers, clothing, household items, school supplies, cleaning supplies, linens, book, toys and we even have big items donated like computers, T.V.'s, and bikes. Our whole community is invited and we usually have around 550 people show up. They are given a Bible and a number then they are called to go through the rooms to get whatever they need. At the end of the rooms they are given a bag of groceries with all the fixing's for a Thanksgiving dinner, ham included. It is a wonderful day and I am blessed beyond measure, and this day always helps to remind me of that. I love this day for other reasons to though, it is a day of great fellowship with my church family. I also love it because my children are welcome to help, Emily Klair is still to young to really realize what is going on and what she is doing to help but Tyler gets it and has already been a big help. After working at church yesterday afternoon and on into last night, his bed time prayer was very sweet, the boy has a very tender heart! I pray for tomorrow and the families we will be helping.
