Happy Thanksgiving from the Runges! This time of year we count our blessings twice and we also take the time to do some extra GIVING before heading into the busy Christmas season. Our local fire department had safety vests made to help pedestrians "BE SEEN. BE SAFE." Fire chief and family friend, Jason Monnens, had the idea to have these made and handed out to walkers and bikers after what happened to Clint. Our family thought this was a fabulous idea and decided to fully support it. Scott and I made a donation to the fire department to purchase additional vests. Our wonderful, compassionate kiddos decided they wanted to donate some of their own money as well. We also gave an extra thank offering at church in thanksgiving for our families. Lastly, before we left home this morning to enjoy thanksgiving at the Simonsen's in Fairfax we made a CaringBridge donation. CaringBridge has been an amazing free asset to our family as well as so many other families we know. We want to ensure it's there for anyone who needs it in the future. Please make the time to find a way to GIVE in some form today. I'd love new ideas as well - share in a comment below! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
