walk for autism

Saturday, we spent the day at the Prince William Fairgrounds making a difference at the Walk For Autism Virginia event. These events always impact me. I will admit, I woke up that morning ready to stay in bed, hang out with my family and to watch lots of college football. I wasn't enjoying driving to the office to pick up the trailer of toys.

And then the event started.

And I saw the kids and families whose lives we were changing and impacting that day. The day flew by as we had a great time making popcorn, sno-cones, cotton candy, handed out ice cream, helped kids on the moonbounces and had conversations.

I sometimes forget I GET to do this. And that each time I do this, I am giving people a glimpse of Jesus. Maybe I should begin the days of these events with a prayer - to remind me this is about Jesus not me. Maybe then I wouldn't have to make an adjustment in my attitude. I forget sometimes.

Kudos to our volunteers that day! 24 total plus help from about 10 kids! Thanks for making this a great event for the Autism Society and for me!
