A Labor of Love Outreach!

This morning we got the privelege to volunteer at A Labor of Love Outreach!  We worked beside a group of amazing people and were so blessed to just reach out...to help so many people.  I heard over 900 people came through the church parking lot where the outreach was held today and that there were 90 volunteers.  
  The littlest of our party played in the playground during the event!
Mr. Magoo chillin' in the play tunnel!
Mo and Hannah made 100's of snowcones for the kiddos!  They were stained from all the flavoring!
The youngest five of our household waiting in line to get a snowcone!
Love!
Tim helping with the food distribution!  What a blessing to be able to help so many people in need of food.  Misters 17 and 13 helped with the food as well.  They helped those that couldn't carry stuff by walking their food to their cars for them.  
Tinkerbell took this picture of Little Miss and I just love it!

I was helping hand out prepared hot dogs, chicken sandwiches and drinks to everyone.  It was so much fun seeing so many smiling faces!  They gave out new clothing, used clothing and furniture, bags of food and feed everyone that came through!  I was honored to work beside my family and to watch them serve others.  What a blessed morning it was!

The day did not end there though.  Tim took a van load of teenagers down to the Freedom Concert!  He was such a good sport taking 14 teens to the event!  The kids had a fabulous time.  Mo and Hannah got tatoos!  They are fantabulous...Mo got music notes etc around her ankle.  They also had someone walk up to them while they were walking around and hand them four free VIP passes to meet Switchfoot after the concert!!!!  Stinkin' Awesome!  They didn't get to stay for the fireworks, but plan to do so next time.  

All in all...a wonderfully blessed and fun filled day!!!
