Care Package

If you remember on the boys' Summer Bucket List they were wanting to make a care package for Lt. Cpl Eric Eikenberry...so we worked on that today. We had fun filling it with crackers, peanut butter, granola bars, peanuts, gum, protein bars and sports magazines. We talked a lot about what it would be like to be serving overseas, in Afghanistan and how that would feel for him. What it would be like to hear the sounds of guns and bombs going off. What it would be like to be that far away from family, air conditioning, TV, homemade food. How very much we take for granted those things and how grateful we are there are people who serve our country. We are praying for Eric...if you think of it, pray for him too. Tomorrow's his birthday! :)
