I have to share something that warmed my heart this weekend. In my hometown is a Christian family that has worked hard and profited immensely from their efforts. They have given back so much to my town - a performing arts center that showcases Christian recording artists and jaw-dropping local talent, a factory converted to a huge playroom for kids and restaurants, as well as multiple stores and businesses that employee many people.
On Saturday, they opened two buildings to the community's children for egg hunts. This photo does not do justice to how many eggs were in this room. Each egg was filled and many contained prizes for larger gifts. Perhaps some would scoff and remind this isn't why we celebrate Easter. Of course it's not, but every direction my eyes turned, I saw laughing children. I have to think God was enjoying those smiles and this act of generosity. Thank you Drake family for all you give to your community and how you shine Christ into the world.
Decided that starting this month, I will capture a family photo of us each month. Here's my first. Most will be just capturing life versus a posing moment, but since we were all cleaned up...
And a few more favorites...
