"Yes Virginia, (or Henry in this case) There Is A Santa" And, boy did he come eary this year!!!

What An AMAZING Day!!!!!

I prayed for the following things for Saturday:
1. please let the day be beautiful
2. watch over everyone, and keep them safe
3. let the spirit of the day be filled with kindness, generosity and patience
4. give stamina & strength to all the workers & volunteers
5. let there be enough food & drink for everyone
6. no blow-outs with the electricity
7.no fights, arguments, or disagreements, and no negativity of any kind
You know what? God answered every single one of my prayers!!!!!
(the most important prayer answered, Henry's life & his recovery!!!)

Thank you, number one to God,
and to all who came out to support Henry & his family!!!
(I think over 1200 people came)

To all the volunteers who helped out,
(to many of you to name!!!)

to everyone who donated money, food, raffle & auction items,
( don't know if I should give the exact amount of the money raised, so I will just say, it was a lot!)
can you believe we had food, pop & water left over?

to the bands & DJ for the great entertainment...
you all sounded great & did a fantastic job!!!!
(and they all performed for free!!!!)
