Rainbow Loom bracelets are all the craze. Children of all ages are sporting colorful bracelets, necklaces, and rings made of small rubber bands. These unique pieces of jewelry can be found in our house. MaKenna bought a loom months ago and she started making bracelets of her own. I am actually wearing an orange, red,… Continue reading A Rainbow Loom of Good

We are Blessed with Things to Give
We live blessed lives. We often forget it. As people, we get caught up in what possessions we have, the money we've earned, and the things that we want. Our eyes become laser focused on things that cloud our minds and the true treasures in life sit quietly in the shadows while we strive for… Continue reading We are Blessed with Things to Give
Day 10: Sweet Surprises
Yesterday, we were blessed with the opportunity to discuss the 25 Days of Giving on television by appearing on 21 Alive's INsight. This was our 3rd appearance on the program in the last year.

Day 9: Food Donation
Day 9 was originally planned to be a day in which we helped the homeless. Due to our crazy schedules, we decided to swap Day 9 with Day 16. So today we made a food donation. We donated some non-perishable food items to a local church food pantry. This particular pantry focuses heavily on providing… Continue reading Day 9: Food Donation
Day 6: Generous Tip
We put a twist on the idea of a generous tip today. This day was originally created to give a waiter or waitress a little extra on the gratuity during lunch or dinner. Last year we gave a $20 tip on $14 lunch. This year we decided that we were going to stay home and… Continue reading Day 6: Generous Tip

No matter how difficult a day may be, laughter can be a great release. If only for a moment, laughter makes… Continue reading Day 5: Make Someone Laugh
Day 4: Thank You
Thank you. Two simple words that, when put together, are very powerful. Two words that are taken for granted, forgotten, and often unsaid. Life gets busy and we are always in a hurry. We fail to pause a moment to share our appreciation and our gratitude with others. Today, we wanted to focus on saying… Continue reading Day 4: Thank You
Day 3: Parking Day
Today was Parking Day. We spent time covering the parking expenses of others in downtown Fort Wayne. While in the parking garage, I left a few dollars with the garage attendant to pay for the next car to leave the garage. I will never know if those few singles made a difference, but I hope… Continue reading Day 3: Parking Day
Day 2: Clothing Donation
Day 2 of the 25 Days of Giving was called Clothing Donation. We dug through our closets and emptied out our dresser drawers to find those clothes that we could give to someone who needs it. We made two separate donations. First, we dropped off clothes for Forgotten Children Worldwide at one of their local… Continue reading Day 2: Clothing Donation
Hunger And Homelessness Awareness Week
"Getting up at 5am is never easy, especially on the weekend. Those are the days that I actually get to sleep in because there is no school. But as a member of this family, the Brown family, I am willing to make a sacrifice in order to volunteer. We were up early to serve the… Continue reading Hunger And Homelessness Awareness Week
