Feet to Faith

At Cascade Christian where I work, there is a wonderful group of people I have been blessed to know that have extended so much to our family! The love, understanding, word of encouragement and praise alone have blessed me by email and in person. The Davis Family planned to put their feet to faith, and bless our family with a baked sale. Damon and Abby have shown concern for Mattie and our family from the beginning and to seeing them want to put this event on blessed me so much. I ended up working on Friday, which was the day of the baked sale and as I came in the doors there were two banquet style tables filled with baked goods! I was amazed at the response...until I saw 2 more banquet style tables full of even more baked goods in the cafeteria! Oh my, people had donated way above and beyond all of our thoughts! Before the sale even officially began they had collected $300 in donations! One child even had a plastic Piggy bank full of coins (piggy= around $100). Children in the hallways were asking me about Mattie and our family as well as teachers/parents. My heart was full of warmth as I realized how awesome it is to recieve this gift of love from so many!! God is Good! We will be getting the official amount collected at a little ceremony time that the whole school attends on Wednesday and from what I have heard, we will be blown away.
I will include pictures of the event as I recieve them, so that you can see the hands and feet of faith in living color!!
