For the last two weeks or so, I've been working on the Christmas party for Colin's family readiness group. I've been trying to get "donations" from businesses around the area, even just to help support our food efforts and little things to make the party just that much better! You'd be amazed that when they hear it can't be a tax write off, how not willing they are.
Well, with my frustrations I turn to Facebook (of course!) Lo and behold, what happens? I'm shown once again that I have MANY angels that walk among us. When I vented, SO many people stepped forward to offer absolutely amazing gifts!! People who have home businesses donated beyond what I could ever even ask for!! I have people throwing gifts at us that I have never met! People are giving things made from their own hands! People giving their talents to these families!
Seriously, how could I not be beyond touched that my friends are so willing to give to these soldiers and their families?! To people they have never met, and probably never will! This shows me that there is still so much lover in this country. Love not only for our soldiers but for our fellow man.
I've seen people on Facebook doing a daily "I'm thankful for..." thing, but I have to say, everyday I'm thankful to these amazing people! This time of year is tight on everyone's checkbook, and to open your heart to us all, there's only one thing that comes to mind:
"God bless us, everyone!"
