River Cities Harvest day #40

I can't believe today is day 40 of our kindness journey. Wow! Where has the time gone?? Time really does fly when you are having fun!!

We knew going into the day what we wanted to do as our act of kindness. River Cities Harvest was collecting items from 11-5 for the flood victims of Pike county, KY. We knew without a shadow of a doubt this is what we wanted to do. We talked about how blessed we are that we haven't been directly touched by the flood. Ellie called this God's kindness to us. Doing this act of kindness spurred Cody into a deep conversation about Noah's Ark, God's promise to never destroy the world with the flood again. Cody really was in deep thought and conversation. He said, "is God mad at the way we are living and He wants our attention? Is that why there have been so many floods?" Wow! I can honestly say that it was this act of kindness that got us talking in a way about the floods that we hadn't before. It amazes me at just how smart they are.

Off to Kroger we go...to buy paper towels and bottled water. When we walked into Kroger we immediately saw a display for (3) 24 bottled waters for $10.00 and beside of it next end cap over was the paper towels. Cody said, "this is neat that it is here it is a God thing..we were meant to get these things."

Once we arrived at River Cities Harvest we noticed a large box truck with H.O.P.E. of Pikeville on the side of the truck. I pray that those people in that devastated are do in fact find hope. When we got there the kids jumped out and were quick to help place the items in the back of the truck.

While on today's journey, I ran into a high school friend. It had been 20 years since I had seen him last. He told me that lots of people were coming from all over to help out. Praise God!!!

thank you God for this kindness journey! Thank you for Cody & Ellie!! Thank you God for River Cities Harvest, H.O.P.E of Pikeville, the volunteers and all that came out in support of the people of Pike county. God please bless the people of Pikeville hold them in your arms and give them strength, peace and comfort that only you can provide. God thanks for allowing me to run into a high school friend.

You are an awesome God!! Thank you for your continued kindness that you show us on a daily basis!

Where will we be tomorrow? Stay tuned. Until then....

On your mark, get set, be kind.

Love you to the moon & back,
Annie, Cody & Miss Ellie
