Hannah's Socks • warm feet, warm hearts

My family and I go to Cedar Creek Church on Saturday evenings. The children love "Kid Ventures" and after we've loaded them into the van to head home, they do not stop talking about what they did, what they've learned, and which one of them will remember the bible verse.

Last Saturday the kids were so excited because all three Cedar Creek campuses are getting all of the kids, big and little, involved in making a difference in the lives of the homeless right here in our area. Hannah said, "Mom, all of the Cedar Creek's are collecting socks to help me put socks on my homeless people. This will be gazillion's of socks." Keep in mind that Hannah is 7. Those big brown eyes and her toothless smile along with her big imagination knew that with Cedar Creek's help this would be BIG! Yes, she has in her own mind claimed the homeless population.

As she tries real hard to take care of HER toys she also thinks of the people she helps everyday as HER homeless people. I think it is a good thing to take ownership of whatever you become involved in, so we let her do so. As Vic and I listened to Bill Hybels Saturday evening at Cedar Creek, he spoke of Holy Discontentment. We looked at each other knowingly without speaking a word that homelessness is our family's Holy Discontentment, thanks to Hannah's observation and her heart that cold Thanksgiving morning.
