A Heart felt community gesture spoken from a Child. Our Last " Paying it Forward to our Community", comes at the request from our daughter Katie and our son Nicholas. Katie who thought of the idea first but the enthusiasm comes from both of their hearts, with innocents, and with their willing to help their Daddy and Mommy. Here's how it came about. For the Last 3-4 weeks the Kids have heard Myself, Lindsay, Family Members, and Friends talk about "Paying it Forward to our Community" Mid week of Mar.28th 2010 Lindsay and the kids were walking home from school and Katie noticed litter beside the side walk and said " Lindsay, Step Mom , I know something we could do. We could pick up the garbage on the way to and from school, just so that Nicky and me can help You and Daddy win a free wedding".
Now , I was at work at the time and once I came home Lindsay told me of the Kid's idea . I had watery eyes , almost tears.
The point here is, that for weeks now the kids have been listening, learning and watching Lindsay and I discuss and execute ideas for "Paying it Forward to our Community " and now our kids want to do the something in order to help their Mommy and Daddy and also help the Community. That's a heart wrenching ... isn't it? I'm biting my fist :).
For our last Event for "Paying it Forward to our Community" The Kids picked up some Garage along the street on their way home from school as well we are planning an Earth Day (April 22nd) outing to clean up our local Park(Avondale Park) here in Courtice .
We leave you with a HUGE Thanks to Brenda & Co and to all the Vendors that have come on board and with the heart lifting idea of "Paying it forward to our Community".
We leave you with this thought.... Has the idea of "paying it forward" blossomed in your home? and your Hearts? It has Ours.
From our Family with love to your Family. Thank-you for your Votes
Regards,
Dennis, Lindsay, Katie, Nicholas, Braxton and the pets (Harley and Davidson)
