Wow, what a Sunday!  We had an absolute blast yesterday meeting so many first time visitors and adopted families.  It really is hard to put it into words but, we have really just felt blessed to be a part of C3’s “Feed the Family” holiday campaign.  It really has been sweet to get to know our adopted family and to be able to help meet some of their physical needs. The greatest part was that yesterday the mom of our adopted family prayed to receive Christ. 

The Feed the Families campaign has also given us some amazing opportunities to talk to Caleb and Luke about giving and helping others.  Ya know the idea of putting others first really does not come natural to any of us.   But when we are able to put others first I think then we can really get a glimpse of the word through Jesus’ eyes. 

I was so proud of Luke last week.  He had an auction during school were they could use points that they had earned through the fall to buy toys and gifts.  Luke had been telling us about several things he wanted to get.  But then when the day came to get his stuff, instead of using his points for himself, he bought his family gifts.  I know it’s kind of a small thing but as his dad it was huge.  You start thinking, what if we could change the way the next generation of Church thinks.  What if we had a whole generation of church stopped thinking so much about themselves and what they can get and started focusing on loving God and loving others first.  What would happen?  How would it change the world?  How would it change the way people view the church?
