Day 23: Gift of Neighborly Love
Good neighbors make great neighborhoods. We have been very blessed over the years to live next to wonderful people.

I Am A Bell Ringer
It is Christmas time. Santa ho-ho-hos from his throne at the mall. Carolers sing fa-la-la-la-la while they deck the halls. Chestnuts crackle on an open fire. Children sing songs of a reindeer with a famous shiny nose. These are the sounds of the season. All are synonymous with the Christmas spirit. There is another sound… Continue reading I Am A Bell Ringer
Day 22: Holiday Wishes on Windshields
We were supposed to shovel snow today. Unfortunately, or fortunately, there is no snow in Northern Indiana to shovel. We very well may be looking at a green Christmas. The lack of the white stuff caused us to rethink our day 22 activity. We decided that we would share holiday wishes by leaving Christmas cards… Continue reading Day 22: Holiday Wishes on Windshields

Limited resources keep these families from building a library of book… Continue reading Day 20: Book Donation

Making an investment in children is one of the best investment's you can make. The payoff, for you as an individual, is great regardless of the size of the investment. Today, we made a small investment in a group of children at Adams Elementary. I visited Mrs. Craig's class this afternoon to read them a… Continue reading Day 18: Take Time To Read
Day 17: Care Packages
Day 17 of our 25 Days of Giving was all about the homeless. We spent the evening walking the streets of the city with backpacks loaded with snacks, drink packets, and hand/foot warmers. For two hours, we delivered the care packages to the locations these individuals call "home". We were in the park, in the… Continue reading Day 17: Care Packages
