Thankful

"He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them."

Hebrews 6:10

We have many, many reasons to be thankful!  Most recently, two specific acts of selflessness remain on my mind to share. 


1.  My brother-in-law, Kurt, works very hard at his job and at home.  He is a firefighter and also has a second part-time job.  Recently a tree fell in his neighbor's backyard so hevolunteered to chop it up and haul it off.  In the earnings he made, Kurt and Robyn chose to donate to our adoption fund! 

2.  Last weekend we were invited to a birthday party for Deb and Brent's kiddos, Jaclynn and Jayden.  Jayden was turning 4 and Jaclynn will be 7 at the beginning of December.  We played games, ate cake and ice cream, and opened up gifts.  After the gifts were opened the kids ran over to us and tossed a large wad of cash in our laps and shouted, "Here, this is for you!"  As we sat there unsure of what to do, Deb announced that they had requested donations for "Little Bo" instead of birthday gifts from family and friends.  What a beautiful family and selfless act!
