The Holidays are here! SO be of good cheer! :)
Thanksgiving was wonderful! Someone Renè knew through work called and donated 50 pre-made dinners!!! We spent the morning at the dog park with friends and had Thanksgiving lunch with the Nash's. Then went to Luz's best friends house for a while. Afterwards we took the dinners to Miami & handed them out! I think it was the most incredible thing I've done in my life! We met people who we weren't even sure if they were homeless - educated, reading, but homeless. We saw just how bad the economy has gotten! Here so many people come from other countries not knowing anyone or having much of anything so when times are tough they don't really have anywhere to go! We actually thought this one guy was homeless who ended up not being! Well, the truth is I thought he might be, and Renè didn't want to offend him. ;) Finally we asked if he was hungry. He was like, "DO I really look that bad!" We tried to cover up saying, "that we only had one meal left and we just really wanted to give it away so we though he might be hungry!" ;) As we walked away he said God Bless ... like 4 seconds later he yelled out " You don't happen to know any musicians" ... So Renè began to tell him how incredible our musicians were at church, we talked for a while & then met his friend (who was a musician). To make a long story short Julian, the young man we tried to give dinner too, felt that God wanted them to go to South Beach that night & couldn't figure out why ... when we started walking away he felt we were the ones he was suppose to talk to ... Yesterday, November 3rd, we met up with both of them at the church to talk, sing, play some music, & before leaving Julian was baptized in Jesus Name! It was really cool & exciting!
Last night I put out some Christmas Decor. We decided to not do a tree this year! It's so much work, messy, and not that much fun! I just put out some big bowls of ornaments & some sparkle sticks / a mini tree on the table ... it turned out cute, nice and simple!
@ the Dog Park!
