Perry picked the music today "Classic Relaxation with Mozart." Currently, it is lightly snowing. The trees are sporting their new snow frosted outfits :)
In an hour or so, we will head out to Chanhassen to the Feed My Starving Children Facility www.fmsc.org . The kids and I will package food up to be sent off to a selected third world country. You Tube had some pretty cool video on people's experiences at FMSC as well as videos that really captured the essence of world hunger. I feel that with each block I lay upon the other, my children *should* be receiving an idea of what it is to be a loving and caring individual.
I am trying to think back to my own childhood experiences. I know that my family was on the receiving end, quite often, of charitable donations from our church. We were the "family of the month" at times tha t the congregation supported. I can't say that I remember a lot of times that we gave back. I can be wrong; but nothing currently stands out.
I remember my mother taking in people who needed a place to stay - typically young collegues from the school she taught at; PE Coach, 7th grade teacher, i think another PE coach. I can't remember. For a while, we always had some young adult living with us - perhaps my mom collected rent from them; i am not sure. Again, questions i need answered.
Two more minutes of daybook time. The kids are all engaged. I look forward to this time.
