Christmas time seems like the only time that people seem to care about one another. Skip & I don't want our kids to be raised like that so we have decided that this year we are going to continue on with the Random Acts of Kindness we started during the holidays.
We are currently sponsoring 2 soldiers overseas (if you would like to drop them a card please let me know and i'll send you the address) but we knew this just wasn't enough. I told Skip that I really want the kids to be involved in coming up with ways to help other people. Serenity came up with some pretty great ideas over the holidays so i knew she would continue to make some great unselfish choices and boy did she. I asked her this morning what was something she wanted to do for someone else. It could be anything and for anyone. She said she wanted to buy coloring books & crayons and when I asked if she wanted them for just random kids, kids who don't have a lot of money, or kids who are sick. She said kids who are sick in the hospital. I love how much she loves thinking of others. I looked up the address for St. Jude and we are off to the store to buy some coloring books and crayons now but there is also a phone number to call and see what toys are currently wanted by the kids as well so we may just have to do that too :)
I asked Serenity if she knew who else was proud of her for making such a great choice and she said Jesus mommy. I could do nothing but smile at her
