Barbeque with the Bikers for Christ

This evening we attended a barbeque with HopeKids sponsored by the Bikers for Christ. It was at a local park and was a lot of fun. They had many many Harley Davidson motorcylces which of course made Jerry drool. They also had a mini car show with a lot of '69 Chevy Camaros and '69 Chevelles which made me drool. :)

Every day I am amazed at all the people and groups who reach out trying to ease what all the HopeKids families are going through or have gone through. It hasn't been easy. It seems like going through Raylee's cancer happened so fast and I thought I had dealt with all the emotions from it, but I haven't. I have been really depressed from it, some of it may be that I am really exhausted. It seems like it is catching up to me now. But having something to go to like barbeque sponsored by a group of people because they care and want to make a differce ignites my energy and hope that all will be well. It is true, there are people all around taking action to make this world an easier and better place. I am truly humbled and grateful for these people and the director's of HopeKids who organize these things. Tomorrow the girls are going to the circus with HopeKids, something we wouldn't be able to purchase right now due to the financial strain of medical expenses.

All these great events and experiences are certainly educating me on many groups or organizations whom serve others, such as Bikers for Christ. In the Bikers for Christ's Statement of Faith it states, "We believe that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless."
