Last Thursday night, we were all sitting innocently
around the dinner table enjoying a family dinner before Dad and the twins left
for a Father-Daughter Retreat the next morning (more on that tomorrow.)
Suddenly, all my siblings get up and go upstairs together. I thought they had
some kind of surprise for Mom and Dad. I kind of wondered why I had been left
out of the surprise…
When
they came back down, they had a tin box in their hands. They placed it in front
of me. Completely caught off-guard, I opened the lid. Inside was loose change,
lots of $1 bills, a few $5's and a $20. On top was a note that read
"Bianca's Orphanage Project." For months, my siblings have been
squirreling away money to give me. Their "golden goal" was $100.
Inside
that little tin box was $102.67! I was so humbled by their initiative and
thoughtfulness, especially when they all pointed to Josiah as the one who came
up with the idea. I'm more impressed by the fact that they kept this a secret
for so long. J I was so touched! I
am so incredibly blessed by my siblings! J

This post really warmed my heart. You all share such a special relationship with one another. I believe that is because you are also brothers and sisters in Christ.
I love you all
Give Josiah a group hug for me,
Aunt Debbie
