Today our church assembled and delivered approximately 160 Christmas baskets which included food and toys. I have volunteered for the past few years, and look forward to helping each year. I usually help pack the bags of food, this year I helped with the gifts. We were short on drivers this year so Vihaney and I delivered to 6 families. Thank God for Vihaney, she speaks spanish and most of the families are spanish speaking only. Chuck, Corey and Amber usually help, but this year it was only Vihaney and myself. Corey came down with the stomach flu Thursday nite, so he stayed home. He was disappointed -- he said he looks forward to Christmas every year because he enjoys doing this. Next year Corey! Both Chuck and Amber had to work today so they missed out also.
Delivering these food baskets really puts things in perspective. You don't appreciate how much you really have until you see those with less. It's definately a good lesson for kids to be able to see how much they have compared to others. I know it's made mine appreciate things more. May God bless all those families we delivered to and to all the people who helped make the program run smoothly.
