Remembering Andrew

I have the great privilege of driving past a National Cemetery at least 10 times each week. It is always a humbling experience and a harsh reminder of the men and women who have paid and continue to pay the ultimate price for MY freedom!Today the children and I purchased an arrangement of flowers and headed to the cemetery to honor a soldier.

They were mesmerized by the stones and the names of those who have served this great country. It was such a learning experience for us all!

Today we chose to specifically honor
Andrew G. Klein
LCDR
USNR
World War II

We also honor, love, and respect Grandpa and Uncle Michael!
True Heroes!

My friend Mindy wrote a great Veteran's Day tribute today!

22 Days of Giving...Shoe Man

In my search for "giving ideas", I ran across the Shoe Man. I think that this is a unique ministry, and a great way to use our too small shoes. I searched our house and found 8 pairs. This is a practical idea that my kiddos can truly grasp....the need for shoes and water.

I am amazed at how easy it is to find opportunities to give when you are open and searching for them!

Do you have any old shoes cluttering your closets?
