Happy New Year, Everyone!  I hope everyone had a great holiday season and 2016 is starting off great!

Today, I am reminded about how the heart works.  How strong of an organ it is and how none of us can survive without this organ.  But you see, there is just surviving and then there is connecting with others through your HEART!

Today, after many, many months of persistence, my youngest son, Conner, connected the excess waste of food at his college to an organization that finds people in need to feed.   He worked in the college cafeteria  a couple of years ago and saw the food that was being thrown away and also saw the many homeless people throughout the community.  It took many months to jump through all the hoops associated with giving food away and through this, his heart knew he had to keep fighting to make this happen!  It became his passion and his mission!  It did MY heart good today when he called and said he made his first delivery from school to a church that feeds the homeless..... To hear the excitement in his voice!!  And now, even though it is his last semester in college, he has connected the surplus food at his college with individuals in need!  You see, although I will be so very proud when he graduates; I am most proud of the man he is today! 

               For I was hungry, and you fed me.  I was thirsty and you gave me a drink.  I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.

                                                                                                                                               Matthew 25:35

We all have things that tug at our heart and my hope is that in 2016, you do something about it!  

Blessings,

Susie
