Today was one of those days that will forever be etched in my mind and in my heart. For Marilyn's birthday, she organized items to make blessing bags for the homeless.
After everything was laid out, 24 blessing bags were built by Marilyn, Julie, and Donna. (I was the official tag-tier). 
Next we loaded up the car and headed into Lincoln. We parked across from Gold's building and Marilyn found the PERFECT words "It's my birthday. We'd like to give you a gift" the look on everyones' faces was priceless - so many smiles and "thank - you's" and "happy birthdays" and short conversations.
What a wonderful feeling!!
We also left scarves and hats around for people to find and take. (Thank you, Geory and Bev!!) By the time we returned to the car, the first donations had already found new homes. 
The crazy thing? - everytime we do anything like this, I'm pretty sure I receive WAAAY more than I give. It was such an amazing experience....
Hmmmm, I have until April to figure out my next birthday project!😉 Happy, happy birthday, Marilyn. You are a gift.
