This is so inspiring. The way people can come together to help a friend. To know that what you are doing is so right. So needed. To feel so wonderful about GIVING a gift. Thank you for this. I am very aware this year of folks in need and hoping I can do my part to help those less fortunate. After spending a weekend in NYC and seeing homeless folks line up at the soup stand, my own life seems much more blessed and manageable, despite our own hard times. Heather. This is so inspiring.

I so often feel like my little won't make much of a difference, but I feel differently now. I'm inspired by seeing your small sacrifices make a big impact. Heather, I love this!

It reminded me of the story of the loaves and fishes. We feel like we have so little. But with God, it multiplies. I loved this. It reminded me of the story of the loaves and fishes.
