How My Alley Run Shirt Made Me Friends


It was only moments after this picture was taken that it happened.

A setof grandparents along with their daughter and her son wandered by, just having arrived for their own vacation for the weekend.

They stopped in front of the main rec. room where we were gabbing. Then the daughter saw my shirt, and said, "Did you go to Alley Fest?"

"Yes we did, and we did the 10K!"

"My son and I are from Longview!"
"Us too!"

"Well actually we live in Spring Hill."

"Really??? Us too!"

Come to find out they live literally a minute from us.

They asked about the rec. hall because their family was going to rent it for Christmas, and being the friendly girls they are, Carley and Kelsey took them inside and gave them the full tour.

Well, SmithCale's family being the way they are, met up with them Saturday and invited them to our family church service Sunday morning.

If you've never been to a Hunt family singing session (ala Church of Christ acapella), you don't know what you've been missing.

Obviously touched by our family, the daughter left in tears from being so moved.

Never take for granted your impact on people's lives. We're all in this together!

Matthew 5:14-16
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
