Giving

  Strewn all over my floor are piles and piles of clothes, health products, books, bags, and who-knows-what else.  Being OCD, I want to shudder everytime I lay my eyes on the giant mess.  But then I remember the reason for it.  We are leaving for Peru!  And then I grow even more excited as I see the three suitcases zipped up tight in the corner-
  There are so many donations, I barely managed to squeezed them in the bags.  Just one little email and suddenly we are being swarmed by people in the ward and others who are wanting to help.  We have gotten bag upon bag of clothing and toys that are in great condition.  One family, we realized with amazement, must have spent over a hundred dollars buying church shirts, dresses, pajamas, and underclothing for us to give to these people- people that they don't even know!
  I am just so grateful to know that so many are willing to make sacrifices in order to help those in need.
