It has been a rough week, and today I am super thankful for an email full of pictures of God's amazing works.
Four kids with a giant dream... and hundreds of people... some that love us and some that don't know us from Adam... come together for the good of mankind.
Remember way back to Christmas when the generous hearts of people from all over the United States raised $8,029.33 to help a little village in Kenya?!?!?
And beyond helping the village on the other side of the world, y'all bought funky socks... like tons of them! And with the generous WE HELP TWO we provided 550 pair of warm socks that were distributed all over the state of Maryland, Washington DC, Missouri, and a few states in between for people in need over the winter time. And not only that... but 174 pair of fun funky socks for kids in the hospital!
Do you remember that?
Well if you don't... or you needed the reminder that through all the hard things, and the not fun things, and the "feel like I'm failing" things going on in your life... there are still little people with big dreams, and an AMAZING God that can make what seems impossible a reality.
I am so, so thankful to all of you... hundreds of you... tons of whom I don't even know, that contributed to this. It restores my hope in the human race and reminds me there are lots of amazing, beautiful hearts are there doing great things for the people of this world.
But you know what else I feel... blessed. Parenting is hard... some days it is really, REALLY hard. I worry and stress if we are doing it right. Are we teaching and focusing on the right things? Are they getting what we are teaching? And I know I mess up... a lot... but I am thankful for these amazing kids that God has blessed me with that have big hearts and the desire to make the world a better place.
Thank you... all of you.
