Today I got to help out with this really interesting project. A few people from my church went up to Flint Eastside Mission this afternoon to help out with their Back to School Bash. They give away backpacks and school supplies to kids that can't afford to get school supplies.
I went up to Flint with some people from my church back in April for the Easter dinner and it was really great getting to help these people.
We played this game called Bible Plinko with the kids and they got a few prizes from the game. There were long lines. It was like complete chaos all around.
Seeing the kids dressed the way they were and the parents wearing pajamas and slippers makes me realize something. I'm thankful for the community that I live in. I'm thankful for the things I have.
Too many times we take advantage of what we have. We complain that our computers aren't working. Oh my cell phone is broken. Oh my mp3 player isn't working. We're pretty lucky to have these things because some people don't and we need to realize this.
Some people aren't as fortunate as we are.
