Rescue Mission...

On December 23 our family went to serve lunch at the local Rescue Mission.  The night before we went to serve Reece came running into our bedroom at 9:50 pm to share an idea she had.  She told Tony she wanted to bring some of her own money to the Rescue Mission to give to the people we served.  Tony tried to explain to her that she could give the money to one of the directors at the mission and he could determine how to best use the money for the mission.  But, Reece did not like that idea, she insisted she give it to the people we served.  Tony explained to her that there would be about 3,000 people being served that day and she could not give money to everyone.  We were really impressed that she was lying in her bed late at night thinking about this and her willingness to give her money away.  She ended up not taking her money the next day because she did not want to give it to the director.  We introduced her to the director while we were there and explained to her what he does for the Rescue Mission.  Next time I think she will be Ok with giving it to him. :)  The girls really seemed to enjoy serving at the Rescue Mission and asked if we can do it again next year and other holidays too.
