On Friday, several of us got together with our pre-school children to do a service project. This is a little ministry that God has laid on my heart -- a way to show Alek
that Jesus' command to love others must be lived out in an actionable way. We will be doing projects to bless others without asking for anything in return. This Friday we went to a petting zoo and we handed out cold water bottles with labels on them that said, "Just a small reminder that God Loves You." We had a good response from those who were blessed -- but several asked us if we wanted a donation for the water. It was so refreshing to be able to say, "No, this is just to bless you -- have a good day!" :o) We will be doing a variety of projects. I have set up a blog to document our projects at http://ijn318.blogspot.com/ if you are interested to follow along. Here is a photo of Alek handng out a water bottle.
On Saturdays, Scott and Alek do things together all day to give Mom a little break. It has been a real blessing to me. Scott wakes Alek up, gets him breakfast and then takes him out somewhere special to play for the morning. Then they go to lunch and then home again so Alek can have his afternoon nap. Today, Scott and Alek went downtown to the Plaza Arts Festival. They did some arts & crafts and walked around the exhibits. Here are some photos from this special time today -- can you tell it is a Georgia Football Saturday? :o)
