The Rest of The Story

When I posted the story about my son's step daughter's bike being stolen and the reaction of compassion over judgment that JD had for the neighborhood girl who took the bike, many of you asked, "What happened?  Did JD actually get the children bikes? 

Here's how it stands.  After many unsuccessful attempts to contact the family, a weeks visitation of the flu, surgery to implant tubes in Tornadoes ears, a week's recuperation, and another week and a half of a nasty stomach virus shared among the family, the bike issue got put on hold.  But now that everyone is well, the search for bikes is in full operation.  Contact with the needy family was finally accomplished!

Temporary Assistance to Needy Families

There are nine children in the family, ranging in age from four-years to twenty-six years.  The twenty-six-year-old is a special needs adult who JD and Tara have hired from time to time to do yard work or wash cars or whatever jobs could be found to help Mr. A contribute to his family's income.

JD is committed to giving bikes to all nine of the children and he would very much like to have them by Christmas. 

So here's my idea.  Why don't we help?  If each of us could donate one bike or the money toward the purchase of a bike we could give this single mom's nine children a Merry Christmas Morning. 

Cindy has signed up to purchase a bike.  He-man and I will be contributing to the cause.  How about you?  Do you want to join us?

36.  I am grateful for a compassionate heart.


I hope your Monday begins your week with a renewed zeal.  If you are on vacation from work, I hope it is one of accomplishment as well as rest.  I hope you are as happy to receive the reason of this season as you may be to give.
