Ronald McDonald

Yesterday my church group spilt up into two groups and went to local Ronald McDonald Houses. There families stay that have a child that is sick, and cant afford to live away from the hospital. When we showed up, the lady showed us the only vacant room there. Each room has a sponser and they as a company or family decorte the room themselves with a theme that reflects them. My mom gave me the gift of sensitivity, so tears immediately filled my eyes as a walked in. Later as Carli, Danielle, and I sanitized the toys and books in the toy room a little boy named Bryson came in. His mom later followed and sat with her baby, which i assumed was the ill one, and began to question our work. We simply told her about our church and why we come here every year. She kept asking questions about our denomination, and came to a conclusion that she was going to search for one in her city. That brought smiles to all of our faces. Yesterday taught us all to not only be thankful for the houses and families we were given, but to be thankful for God giving us a healthy body. So i just want to say thank you and good luck to Bryson's family. Youre in our prayers.
