I had fun making and passing out Easter baskets! Several children would not have gotten one otherwise. One Father thanked me repeatedly. Finally, this Dad stated "We didn't have the money to buy baskets for our children this year." We had an incredible day @ CUPC. I had 9 children on the van. We had 4 other families from Dugan drive themselves to church this morning and/or tonight. Every part of our day was great!

On a lighter side, each year I make baskets for Redonia and Trent. Normally, they receive their baskets prior to Sunday School. This year each of them left the house very early and I didn't give them their baskets. I left the baskets out for them in the kitchen but I suppose neither went to the kitchen. After church I asked them if they saw their baskets. Both responded "No". Redonia continued and said "Mom I thought you probably didn't think about doing one for us since you were enjoying making the baskets for your little bus kids". She didn't say it jealously or frustrated. She just knew how happy I was doing for my "babies". Trent refused to get his until Calah came over tonight. He wanted to get his at the same time. I'm sure my big babies were excited, too!

Your daughter sounds just like mine, she understand about the "babies" and really, she is my partner.

In reading about the egg hunt and all, I am so excited for you. It is great what God is doing. He is using you and giving you inspiration. Revival !!!

Thanks for rejoicing with me! Redonia is truly apart of the harvest here. My little friends love her. Redonia's 21 so the kids think she is cool! ha

My daughter Crystal is 25 and the kids think she is cool too! Even our own church kids love to ride with her.
But I'm fun too just like I'm sure you are too.
God is so good to us and our families, how can we not give our all?
