to the firehouse we go!

Today we got to go to the firehouse and we have the "angel" to thank for that trip!  Our angel left us a message that said, "give to others", along with books in her hands!  The boys were super excited to find her this morning holding books that they thought was for them!  They ran into our bedroom showcasing them and excited for them- I asked "you think those are for you?"

Archer was a little puzzled by my question, so I jumped up and ran where she was and read her message to them!  Oh- what do you think we should do with these books?  Should we give them to kiddos that don't have any or you think they are for you?

Archer- oh we should give them, but how?  Mommy- let's drop them off at the fire station where they can pass them out to people that don't have any!  Archer and Ashton (jumping up and down) oh yes!  oh yes!  Where is a fire station- which one?  How will they give it to the kids?

As the boys climbed up into the car- they both carried the books with such care and pride!  It truly melted my heart to see their sweetness and to realize that not once did they fuss that they were giving them to other kids nor ask where were theirs- such hearts at such a young age! I am so blessed with amazing little boys!

As they walked into the fire station with Daddy- Kirby and I sat in the car, they both go a little nervous and shy!  Now, let me tell you Archer does not get shy- he is the kid that runs into a room announcing himself!  The fireman were cooking up their breakfast and welcomed them into their kitchen, took the books, thank them, and suggested a picture by the "boomer" with them!  All the while both boys were shy, but Ashton was grinning with pure joy!

Now as soon as they got in the car they could not stop talking about what they did, who they meet, and where they took a picture!

Lesson:  GIVE to others as GOD gave us HIS only son to take away our sins!  What an amazing selfless act that as a mother I couldn't imagine...
