It was my priviledge to deliver to a family yesterday. The family was a family of nine. It was a blended family with 7 kids who are spread out over a lot of geography except for the holidays. Dad had recently moved to Modesto because of work. Last week the company closed its doors still owing Dad a couple of pay checks. The family came to us via Red Cross duty officer Rod Booth. On Wed night they asked for a little food to get them through the holidays with the kids. After talking to them we huddled with others and collected funds to purchase a lot of food and presents for all the kids. When we brought the boxes in we filled their living room with gifts. The father a very muscular tattoed fellow buried his head in my shoulder sobbing with gratitude. Something got in my eyes and they started tearing up also.
Thank you God for letting me be your hands and heart in Modesto yesterday, it was an honor to serve for you. In Jesus Name -- - Amen
