Christmas challenge
Well we made it through Halloween, and I actually exercised a certain measure of self-control in the candy department. Too bad I didn't have as much self-control with the cookie dough Sunday night. I got a horrible case of food poisoning. It's not a myth! Cookie do CAN make you sick! Consider yourself informed.
I'd like to issue a challenge to anyone that might actually come across our obscure little space here. The holiday season is on the doorstep. Most of us, at least those of us with computers and internet access, are very blessed materially. There are those who aren't. When it starts to get cold outside, my thoughts turn to those without a warm place to go. My heart aches to think about having little children, and what if they were hungry or cold, and I couldn't do much about it? Even Christmastime. We haven't been rich but we have plenty, and the kids get a nice Christmas. I feel blessed that we can do that for them, especially knowing personally of at least a family or two who are wondering how to even get a tree, let alone things to put under it.
So my challenge is this: step outside of yourself this Season. Help at a rescue mission. Donate food to the Ronald McDonald House. Help a family that doesn't have as much (again, I know of at least one, if you'd like to help us help them out). Donate to the food bank, or give money to Salvation Army every time you pass a red bucket. Look for somewhere to help anywhere you can. Christmas is sweeter when it's centered on giving.

Jen! I didn't know that you had a blog....now I do....and I will check it often! I am excited to have a place to come to see pictures and hear about your family. Although you live just miles away, we don't get to catch up nearly enough! As we all focus on our own families at Christmastime, we need a reminder that there are so many others that may not be so fortunate. Thanks for the reminder...we will definitley find someone to share some love with this holiday season! Love you!
