Bishop's Shopping Night

Yesterday was the start of our two say event at work. It's called Bishop Shopping Nights. What it is, is a night especially designed for those LDS or non families that have talked to a bishop and gotten an order to go Christmas shopping.

The nice part about it is these families don't pay a dime for the things that they are getting.

Anyway, as I was saying this all started last night @ 6:30 and kept going non-stop until 9:30. I don't know how many people were there but we had a line for 3 hours so that gives you an idea.

I felt like the jolly fat man himself as I helped these people with their orders, well okay maybe not Santa but at least an elf.It was a truly amazing sight to see all these people be able to put gifts under the tree this year even though they are not able to afford them. It made me stop and think how truly blessed I am to be a part of this, and how much my life has changed because I am a part of the church.

I am not going to fib, I will be one of the families that gets to go shopping like this for our children and for my husband and I for clothes.But I am waiting until Friday to do this so that our customers are able to get what they need first. Never fear we will still be able to get some really good stuff.

I just want to take a minute and thank God for all the many blessings he has given me and my family this year. I love you Heavenly Father and words will never express how much this means to us.
