30 Hour Famine...

Miranda participated in 30 Hour Famine last weekend.

This is the second time we have let our kids participate in this fundraiser.

It has been a success both times.

The kids raise money for homeless people (sometimes here, sometimes abroad) who are homeless or who don't have enough to eat.

This time our church took the kids out to homeless shelters around the area and they worked there and interacted with the people. This helped them to understand that there are all types of people who are homeless.

Miranda was very moved by the fact that there were children in the homeless shelter.

She has talked several times about how she played with the little kids and tried to encourage them to play games and have a little fun.

She knew that some homeless people were kids, but it was different for her to see it with her own eyes.

That is the kind of experience I am proud to have my kids be a part of.

I am not one of those people who hands out money to people on the street.

Adults have choices. (please don't send me messages telling me how I am wrong, I will agree to disagree with you on this topic)

I am, however, someone who is all over helping kids.

The love that we have in our family is meant to be shared.

That's the amazing thing about real love.

You never run out...
