Giving Is Better Than Receiving


Our boys learned a valuable lesson this year for their birthdays. They know how blessed we are and we wanted to show them and allow them to truly feel that it is better to give than receive.

My boys have always wanted a "friend party" for their birthday and I knew I was going to have to give in. We decided to have a friend party but have everyone bring donations for the Ronald McDonald House instead of gifts.

My boys have VERY GENEROUS FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!

We were able to donate over $500 worth of items to RMH. The Good Lord blessed us with a beautiful day with our guests.

We delivered everything to RMH this week. What a truly amazing place and experience. The Cincinnati RMH is the 3rd largest in the world and helps families seeking treatment at Cincinnati Children's. They receive no federal funding and McDonald's donations cover only 12% of their $3.3 Million Dollar Budget. They were so excited with everything we brought and the kids loved the house. It must have resonated, as each of the kids prayed for the people at the RMH last night during prayers.

Full Circle Moment.

THANK YOU to all who donated. This was a Happy Birthday Indeed!
