Little Miracles Follow-up

I am sorry I have been a bit gone. 

Honestly, I felt pretty awful about a couple of comments that showed up on the Little Miracles post. These readers didn't think I deserved any of this fantastic gift. I have felt undeserving every day and I am so grateful that this amazing program exists! These people are sweet and kind and they give so much of themselves to strangers; this time, that stranger being me. Not only that, they teach their kids to be sweet and kind as well. 

We need so much more kindness in our crazy world. We need people who love and care for each other; people who give because they know it is right, not because they are getting anything back in their own wallets. 

Yes, I would have been more comfortable on the giving side of this event, but I also understand that in order for some people to give, some people have to receive. This project grew SO much from the way it was initially presented to me. I told my kids, "I feel like I am lying in the river, just waiting for the water to roll over me; still hoping I come up for air in the end." 

I don't know about you, but I hope to a be a gracious giver AND a gracious receiver. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ wanted us to be both. We must give all we have and then gratefully receive perfect His sacrifice for us.

Thank you for allowing me to share my truth. I am grateful for you all every day.💕

Little Miracles - Day 4

This was such a beautiful miracle for our family! Here are just a few of the kids involved.

Such amazing and Christ-like people.

Little Miracles - Day 3

Bossy said it looked like I was missing a day of Little Miracles, but if you are a follower, you know that I simply tacked it on to my last day in Reno.

And I know how interested you are in seeing the final results, but I am going to drag this out just a little bit longer...

We checked out of the AirB&B on Saturday morning and we all drove our separate cars to the Lake Break Restaurant in Daybreak. One of the ladies on the Little Miracles board owns this fun and delicious eatery. They let us invite other family members, so we had Sport, Bossy and Gamer and their 5 boys as well as our cute little Bright Eyes (yeah, she ate, just like everybody else...). Curly had his cute girl with us as well. It was quite a crew!

Little Miracles made a video and they also took lots of pics. We were just given access to some of them, but these are mostly the ones Tiani from Little Miracles took, not the photographer. 

Then they sent a car for us...

This is only the beginning of what awaited us when we finally got home.
