Blessed to Bless

Thank you, Faith Bible Church, for hosting this fantastic opportunity to serve the Lord by helping put together over 5,000 (FIVE THOUSAND!!) meal bags for Kids Around the World.

I love the people of FBC and their hearts for the poor and marginalized and how they look for and support ways families can serve together.

 It's a special organization that can utilize even the younger kiddos, and for that I am so thankful!

(weighing and adjusting the bags of food, Troy was really good at this!)

(Mia slept through the whole thing, but she would've fit right in.)

 The kids had great time but more importantly we had lots of good conversations about the poor, about ways to serve locally and worldwide, about being "privileged" and what responsibility comes with that. We are already looking for other ways to serve as a family, and can't wait to work with Kids Around the World again. 

(Drawing pictures and writing 'Jesus Loves You' and Bible verses on the boxes.)

"Little children, let us not love with words or talk but in action and in truth."
