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.💕
