Day 14: The Red Cross

Tonight my mom and I had orientation for the Red Cross.  I can not even begin to express the feelings of self-esteem, of accomplishment, of inspiration, and gratitude I had while sitting in the meeting.  There is only one greater feeling in this world than the feeling that comes from the thought or action of selflessly helping someone.  And, that is the feeling of being in the loving arms of my family.  For me, the greatest joys in life come from my husband, and my children.  They fill my life with so much happiness and love.  And, I enjoy spreading that love, and comfort that my family provides me to other's that need it.  From the orientation tonight I got the feeling that the Red Cross is the perfect place to do that! 

It was so awesome that my mother was there with me tonight.  Joining an organization like the Red Cross has been one of my mom's dreams since when she was a young girl.  So, it was absolutely amazing to see her begin to fulfill her dreams later on in life.  I feel so blessed that my mother and I have so many of the same hopes and dreams.  I feel so blessed, and thank God so much for the amazing things He's doing in our lives. And, I am so proud of the both of us for nurturing the seeds planted in our hearts.  All of our hopes, and dreams come from Christ.  He planted the seeds in our hearts, and I can't wait to watched them grow and blossom.
