38. Community - I'm thankful to live in such a wonderful town. There's always something going on to bring people together and I love the way the schools and town partner to highlight the same character quality each month. Currently, our high school band is raising money to go to the Rose Parade. It seems everyone is chipping in to hold fundraising events.
This picture is from the 5th graders at M's school last year doing the Veteran's Day assembly. (He's the last one, top right, by the balloons.) Can I just say, Wow!? I was so impressed that such young people could be so honoring of those serving in the armed forces past and present. This event is something my Dad still talks about. Since he doesn't really remember current events any more, I'm pleased that this meant something to him.
What a sweet post! We don't hear of many schools and communities working together very often. Blessings to you,

Praising the Lord for this blessing along with you! My sister went, I believe, to the Orange Bowl parade w/her high school band (I was in Jr. High still, so couldn't go with her)...very neat! How wonderful that your Dad could experience the program and that it touched him so.
