Yesterday (16 Feb 08), I went to the commissary to grab food so I stop losing weight. I went a booth that was selling girl scout cookies. After picking up a couple of big items, I needed to grab a cart. I went by the table once again and on of the girls recognized me from AWANA. She asked me if I wanted any cookies or to donate some to troops at forward deployed locations. She was a little disappointed that I had no cash on me. As I was finishing up my shopping, I decied to find an atm and get some cash. I went back to the commissary and bought some cookies. I got not resist the thin mints and had half of box gone by diner time. When this girl some walk up again, it was like a bright light. I ordered my 3 boxes of cookies. I do not know the impact I had on the children I am helping out. It was like AWANA is worth my not getting enough sleep for work. It is also a neat story to write about.
This concludes another pointless entry. Cheers!
Isn't it interesting how one doesn't really realize what an impact they have on others until they either leave or they get a reaction like that from a child? I can imagine what a huge impact that you have on those kids lives. What an awesome story Mike! I'll share it with Mike. :)
