Sunday, January 9, 2011 Blessing #247
Trey was up early today to head to Rutledge and talk with a church about Bethlehem Ministry and their work in Haiti. I was up early to get the kids to Sunday School, and I kept the babies in nursery. It was so much fun--but I still am having moments when I can't believe we're about to add a baby to this family!
After church, it was hurry home to straigten up before folks interested in accompanying Trey to Haiti in June came over to hear more about the trip.Sometimes the crowds are big, sometimes they are small--but it never fails to lift my spirits to connect with others who feel called to know and help the Haitians. I believe there are two types of people in the world--Givers and Takers. I'm not saying you have to go to Haiti to be a Giver, but I'm saying precious few of the Taker types ever step forward. It is wonderful to connect with Givers.
Still waiting for the snow, but I'll admit-the forecast looks pretty daunting, so I'm guessing its the real deal. School is already closed for tomorrow! So, today, I'm thankful for the upcoming day off and for connecting with people who have a sincere desire to leave the whole world--not just their own world--better than they found it.

My dear Anna,
It has been one of my greatest joys to watch you become a Giver (or as Ishmael said a Leaver) as you have matured. You are busy making the world a better place, confident in your gifts and talents, overflowing with Love. What better life??
Mom
