This was a week to give thanks for the young people of our communityโฆ
โKids Give Backโ, a local partner volunteer group, filled ten baby boxes with clothes, blankets, books, lotion, bibs, hooded towels, shampoo, ointments, pain relievers, baby wipes, and stuffed toys! The kids decorated the boxes and made a little piece of wooden artwork to go in each box.
Daniel, grandson of our veteran volunteer Don, went shopping for Legos sets that are in high demand among kids in our community. Daniel started helping out at Gracing Spaces when he was a 3-year-old student at Lord of Lifeโs preschool. Now nearly 13, Daniel continues to be a steady friend of the organization.
And our โkids at heartโ brought in much-needed toddler clothes, bed linens, kitchen goods, and artwork (literally thirty minutes after our decorators mentioned being low on dรฉcor items).
How awesome is God who knows our every need and works miracles and marvels through His faithful people of all ages!
