Birthday Blessings







We had Bishop's 1st birthday party this weekend and we started a new tradition. We asked our friends and family to bring gifts to be donated to a local charity.  We chose Grace Works which is a great ministry that sets up a store for families in need which they call the "Manger."  Families are able to get Christmas presents for each other and hear about the love of Christ.  I'm so happy to support such a great mission and I hope that with our new tradition we will be able to make a difference in lives and set an example for Bishop of the importance of giving back.  Raising him to have a loving and compassionate heart is the best present we could ever give him.
