[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2924201, member: 9374"] The wife just mentioned John 3:16 Mission has a food drive set up where they set up outside Reasor's or something and has people buy things while they are doing their regular shopping to throw into the John 3:16 carts. When one fills up, they just swap it with an empty one. That's a pretty cool idea, and easy for people who are shopping to pick up a couple extra cans of food, an extra bag of pasta, an extra few packs of lunchmeat, etc. Also, she suggested maybe we as a group could sponsor a few kids from the "Angel Tree" or something. She said she would be willing to do the shopping, wrapping and deliver stuff. I assume maybe we sponsor some from Tulsa, and some from OKC? Although someone else would have to do the OKC shopping/delivery. We're a little far for that. Another idea is finding a children's home in the Tulsa or OKC (or both) metro area and sponsor the whole home or group of kids for Christmas? I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I would be willing to commit a significant amount of time and money to efforts such as these. And it would be a great thing to show my son and teach him. I remember one day a woman in front of me in the grocery line had her card declined and she was about to take her stuff back or abandon it or whatever, I just reached up and swiped my card to pay for her stuff. She was nearly in tears she was so grateful, and my son asked me why I did that, I explained to him that we were very fortunate in a lot of ways, and that that was just in the spirit of the holidays, helping out other people every day where you see the opportunity. I hope he remembers that... [/QUOTE]
