Sherri and I are big believers that true Faith is more what you do, than what you say. We enjoy looking for ways to put our faith into action and this year we had a great idea.Can you imagine a worse place to be homeless than Alaska? Being homeless is never easy but when you add to that our long, cold winters, it just seems extra tough. Winters can be hard on us and we have a thermostat that controls our heat with the push of a button. Trying to imagine living outside in the cold just seems miserable.
So, we decided that anything warm that we could give would probably be much appreciated. On Black Friday we found a great sale on fleece at Joanne's Fabric. We were able to buy $150 worth of fleece for $50! We spent the last few evenings measuring, cutting and tying 55 scarves to hand out to the homeless here in Anchorage! So for less than $1.00 per scarf we were able to provide something that hopefully makes them a little warmer and let's them know that they matter, because everyone needs that, especially at Christmas, right?

Adam, you and Sherri are such good examples! You both have such big hearts, and truly display the love and compassion and joy which is the spirit of Christmas - and it overflows out of both of you all year long. The world is a better place because of you.
Love, Mom
What a great idea!
Did you get to hand them out when you got home?
Mom
