We have two boxes in our store this year and both come up past my waist (i'm almost 5'10"...so that's pretty high:)). Today, as I was making drinks, my manager looked at me from across the counter and said, "wow! we have to have them come soon! both these are full again and we have a box in the back too.". We have already had them come once already to take the toys because the boxes were overflowing. I just looked at my manager and said, "that's so awesome and such a good problem to have!"
Last week I witnessed a woman and her daughter at the register, the woman was explaining to her daugher what the big boxes were for and the daughter responded by asking her mom if they could go to target and buy toys for the kids who need them :). I told the mom that she has one great girl! The girl was maybe 10 and she was already wanting to help people!
It's so amazing to see these things happening around us! It's awesome to know that people want to give, especially during a time when money is short...so cool!!!
Matthew 25: 34-40
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Enter, you who are blessed by my Father! Take what's coming to you in this kingdom. It's been ready for you since the world's foundation. And here's why:
I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me.'
"Then those 'sheep' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.'
