The Season for Giving

TIS THE SEASON TO GIVE. One of our favorite places to give, and one we will continue to do for many years to come, is to our local nursing home. This has been such a blessing to get to know the nurses, the residents, and to see those smiles.  There are some residents that have no idea we came or left. There are a few that are too sick to talk, but their little smiles say everything we need to know. And there are soooooo many that tuck their gift to their side and find the most joy in simply embracing Braylin... EMBRACING WITH ALL THEY HAVE (and usually topping it off with a kiss on her cheek).    It's terrible to think that we may be their only visitors during the holidays (and sadly I confirmed with the nurses that we are to many).  The look of JOY in their faces is what keeps us coming back and if my little girl can be THAT gift to those sweet people, then we will give and give and give. A gift of JOY to some special people and what a rewarding Christmas gift to us... AND ALL GLORY to God.

DELIVERY DAY! Nonnye got to join!!!

She's so proud and was OVERLY excited to finally get to deliver! She kept asking, "Are we going to see the old people yet? I'm ready to take them their presents!".  (Yes, I know that's not politically correct but it comes with complete innocence and compassion.) 

All of the nurses have loved seeing Brayln grow the last few years.
She pulled her little wagon down the hall and stopped at each resident.
SPREADING THE CHRISTMAS MAGIC

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Braylin was asked what she wanted from Santa about 20 times, but she answered like it was the first time each time. 

words don't describe how sweet it was

wagon is empty and our hearts are full!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO OUR SPECIAL FRIENDS!!!!!!
