Kindness Challenge Update
Here is the latest in my Kindness Challenge of socks, etc. that will be gifted to the men, women, children, in our Las Vegas Valley after they enjoy their Thanksgiving Dinner on Thanksgiving Eve, Nov. 25 at the Las Vegas Rescue Mission. My husband, Tim, and I have been collecting socks over the past year and we have given many away through the Central Christian Church pantry as the need arises ~ however, we have many left to give and Thanksgiving is the time we have set as our Kindness Challenge for 2009 becomes a reality.
Many of the men who come to the Rescue Mission are Veterans who happen to be homeless. That seems like an oxymoron to me. It should NOT be so ~ but it is. Socks for these men and their families are important but even more critical is the message we send as we gift them with a simple pair of socks. Perhaps the ribbons and card placed on each and every pair of adult socks says it all: “You are part of God’s plan. Walk in His grace.”
To those of you who have contributed, thank you. To those of you who want to be a part of this Kindness Challenge there is still time. Get in touch with me ~ you know how.
