We had a busy, full weekend. Thursday evening was the 3rd Grade Family Fun night, and the moms who planned this event did a great job focusing on "giving" and "community."
The 3rd graders made place mats for a nursing home, and they also brought canned goods to be donated to Hill Country Daily Bread....such a tremendous ministry located in our own charming town.
Friday after school we delivered the goods to the nursing home and to Daily Bread.
And Sunday morning our Girl Scout troop (along with my boys and hundreds of other Daily Bread volunteers) helped sort food and pack Thanksgiving boxes for those in need in our community.
It was a great weekend of giving. And it reminded me how grateful I am for food and shelter and clothing. Blessings we often take for granted. Especially as we plan for our feast on Thursday.
We spent Sunday evening at church decorating for Christmas. Afterwards there was no shortage of yummy food to eat as we enjoyed one another's company and sang Christmas carols. It was after a rousing rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" that it hit me just how close we are to Christmas.
It'll be here before we know it.
