Awhile ago, Jeffrey heard an ad on the radio requesting voluteers to be Bellringers during this holiday season. He asked a few questions about what it was for and I explained it was to collect money for people that otherwise wouldn't have anything for Christmas. Well, Jeffy was sold and wanted to sign up. So today was the day. Our shift was from 9:30-2pm at the BigLots here in town. Our friends worked from 11-1pm and Jeffy did the rest. He had alot of fun, although it was a bit cold. We had to run in the store to find some mittens to keep those bellringing fingers warm! He did a great job and wished all those coming and going a Very Merry Christmas! We were warmed and amazed at how giving many people were. It was refreshing to see so many willing to reach out to those with less than they have. I was reminded of the story of the widows mite. Jen pointed out that often times it was those that looked most humble that gave the most. Many said that they felt the Salvation Army's assistance after Katrina and loved to support them. What a wonderful son I have. He created a beautiful experience for us today and allowed us to serve during this holiday season.
