Carlie's Sunday School Teacher gathered a few willing girls and showed them how to say "thank you!" The girls worked hard preparing a poster to the local New Haven Fire Department saying "thank you" for their courage and kindness (two of the recent virtues they had learned). They met at our house and made homemade chocolates and put together a basket full of bread, cookies and goodies and brought them to the fire department. All three girls were so nervous walking into that fire station, but I was so proud of them explaining that they recently learned about kindness and courage and that they thought firefighters showed both. The guys at the house were a bit taken aback, but I could tell were touched. One more reason why I love our church...I think it is taking these 8 year old girls and stretching their faith in ways they don't even know and hopefully someday will embrace.
