With their "yes", that year and every year since, we have each gone shopping on our own with our own children to load up on goodies to pack the baskets (bags) with.  As we do so, each of us experiences the way God leads in simple, yet meaningful ways.  We pick up a deck of cards and know some young boy will use them to build card houses as he recovers from surgery.  We pick up a brightly colored stuffed monkey and know some sweetie who faces test after test to determine just what is wrong will use it as her mascot.  We pick up a butterfly headband and know that some 2 year old will proudly announce her beauty to her family.  We pick up a super soft bunny and know some mommy will hold on to it for dear life as they face the battles with their newborn.   We pray for each of the children and families who, no doubt, would rather not be in a position to receive these bags.  But, nonetheless, hope that these bags serve as a reminder that they are remembered and cared for - most of all by a loving God.
