Imagine Distribution Day

Today was Imagine Distribution Day at Eastview Christian Church. Imagine is a something we started last year. We have three weeks of collection. Week 1 was Imagine no child is with out and everyone brought in an unwrapped toy. Week 2 was Imagine no one is cold and everyone brought in a new coat. Finally week 3 was Imagine no one is hungry and everyone had a food box to fill along with a donation for a ham. So as I said this morning was the day that people from the area came to church to collect what they needed. When I arrived at church at 6 this morning there was already a line waiting to get in. You don't ever stop to think how blessed we are for what we have. I work security for the kids program so that is where I was for most of the day. It was nice to see all of the families come in and see our church and what we have to offer them. I felt emotional seeing all the people that had come to take part in this event. The thing that touched me the most today is when a mom came back after getting everything she needed to pick up here two kids Nicholas and Maccey. There was a craft for the kids to do, a coloring book for them and a candy cane. Nicholas had all of his stuff and his sisters’ as well so I got her another candy cane. She looked up at me and asked if she could have another so I smiled and said sure. She went over got her candy cane and came over and gave me a hug. That is the memory that is going to stick with me for a long time. I am so proud to be a member of Eastview and I hope that we can carry this outreach program we provide for Christmas into the coming year. May God bless everyone that helped out today and the families that we made a difference in. I will add to the post once I get a total number of families we were able to serve today.
