today it was a day like any other day donald woke me up about 8pm
i had been sick most of the week ,he asked me want to go for a ride i was thinking that
that was his code for the seddlemnt checks in . well that wasnt the case we got in the car
and he said hun we are going to the vets club its a place that the vets can go have a beer and
its like a moose lodge he told me hun we are going to donate money to them. so i didnt mind
we dontate $100.00 in his fathers memorie becalse his father vern was a vet ,and then i saw walking into
the place a box of toys for the children adn i asked them what was the deadline for toys? they told me the 20th
i told them we would be back bring my daughters old coats and toys .
we now have a bog box of old toys and coats , my daughters out grown so many of her
toys that still look brand new and some of her old coats and clothes . my daughter can be pickie
about clothes and things so when i would pick out tops i knew she would just love
well she didnt love them but shes giving them to needie children. so i went thew my
barbie dolls still in the boxes i collect barbies and ive got 4 barbies collectable dolls iam putting in
the box for the childrend and my husband said oh hun those are your speical
barbies, are you sure? i told him i want some little princess little girl to open a special
barbie doll for chiristmas and i want her eyes to sparkle and her have a good christams
we were tell in my mother in law and this is what just blows my mind what she said
oh karla they can autcion the dolls and get more money and she was going on and on
i told her no thats not what i want the dolls to go for i want some little girl to have a special
barbie doll ,and she asked me what dolls were they i told her one was a princess bride barbie
doll and one was a cendrella doll they wasnt the cheap dolls but ones over 40 dollards
and that dont matter i want to dolls to be opend and played with or what ever the little
girl wants to do with them i want her to know they were special to me and i want her t o feel special too.
oh this gets better we were telling my mother in law that the vets club we went to
if she wanted to go she could go there and met people well we told her how much we gave in
donalds dads name and what they were doing for the needie familys they were taking
the money and gettting turkeys for the familys i think thats wonderful.
well this is what blows my mind once again my mother in law says i think i should get a turkey
becalse ive still got verns vet card and iam a widow. lord forgive me
for judging her but my mother in law gets 4 grand a month in dads benifits plus the
rent money we pay her every month , i dont get her way of thinking she wants a turkey becalse
she feels so needie! lord our county we live in powell in ky is very poor and she would take
a turkey knowing they are going to give them to the needie familys i dont get it!
we was talking then she started in on how she gives her tides to the church and god alway
gives back to her . well i just had to speak up i told her i wanted needie kids
to have a good gift or even a coat to ware i gave becalse i just wanted to i dont expect god
to give to me becalse ive given but i give from my heart and soul becalse i care
i dont even expect a thank you just me and my husband and daughter giving
becalse god has been so good to us and there are so many needie familys .
i give becalse iam a giver not a taker, i give becalse its who iam so when i
die it dont matter if people rember the things ive done for the needie but i love people
i want people to caught the feaver of giving just becalse its like when you yawn
others see you yawn i want others to yawn too. we as people and our kids got more
than my sissters ever did when we was kids and lord knows they wont miss a toy or 2
given to the needie kids . so this chirstmas if you are so blessed just to have a job why
not get a extra toy and donate it? what do you think?
hey spred a little love if you can its a wonderful thing to do!!when we get moved into
our new house iam going threw my stuffed anmales and collected toys and iam gona do a
big box of stuff for nexk years christams and iam gona start giving more
