Today Jonas and I actually had an afternoon/evening with nothing planned! That is pretty much a miracle between his normal extracurricular activities and all the holiday festivities. So we took advantage of the time to run to Ross where we were able to purchase some coats, hats, and gloves for a warm clothing drive in our community. A local bank is sponsoring the drive and will then donate all the items to the Title I schools in Payson. I love that this stays local. I wish we could all live in a world where there was no need for donations like this, but then again, where would be the opportunities to serve? When we showed up at the bank, my heart was full to see the boxes already full of coats and warm clothing. It was a wonderful reminder that there is still good in the world. Sometimes I feel bogged down with all the negative news reports and the horrific things that are happening all over the world, then I see this and realize there is still love, kindness, and generosity out there.
