God, please help my family see how important it is to care for others, especially those that are in need, not just monetary need, but any need. May we stop to consider those around us and listen for your leading in all situations.

Family Valentine 2011
Last year, we started a new tradition of loving others and we sent "buckets of hope" to Haiti. This year we continued our tradition by packing birthday bags so that local parents living in poverty can give their child a birthday gift. We packed 4 bags - 2 for girls and 2 for boys. It was so fun to have the kids pick out what to put in the bags and so heartwarming to hear my children talk about why we want to do this for others.
God, please help my family see how important it is to care for others, especially those that are in need, not just monetary need, but any need. May we stop to consider those around us and listen for your leading in all situations.

I love this, Melissa! You are great parents. :-)
What a sweet and "loving" way to celebrate Valentine's Day. I hope I live to see these 2 as grown ups and to see their impact on the world. Love you all, Aunt Lou
I LOVE this idea! I'll be picking your brain about it at Easter. :)
