I got a whisper from the Holy Spirit last week on the way to church and I'm hoping to share with you all. As many of you know I help a charity that brings birthday's to homeless kids. I love to bring smiles to these kids faces. These kids thankfully are in shelters or housing that keeps them warm. But so many are on the streets with the temperatures heading down.
I've seen ideas on FB for homeless care packages and I told the boys I wanted to do this. They keep asking me when we are going to do this, so when I got the nudge this weekend I knew it was time to act. I starting my first monthly get together at my house this Sunday for us to make a ton of these to keep in our cars. My goal is to do this monthly and every few months head downtown and pass them out and maybe some PB&J sandwiches. I'll work my way there!
Wish me luck I think I have around 10 people showing up on Sunday and bring supplies for us to do an assembly line to make them! I of course have promised cookies for the kids to decorate and take home (my little bribe .. . LOL).
Wish me luck and prayers!
Here are some ideas of what to put in if you want to do this also!
