The Auction!

My dad told me that for there to be givers, there has to be receivers. I get this concept. Many times, I have been the giver. I think many people think of themselves as the givers. It is a very humbling thing to be the receiver.

There are no words to express the magnitude of what happened today. Our neighborhood got together for our annual party. A group of friends held a silent auction with all proceeds going to Colton's surgery. They have asked for donations for the auction. I can't really say what I expected to see. I knew of many things that were being donated. But to see the tables full of items donated by our friends, neighbors, family, family of friends and neighbors, and people I didn't even know was overwhelming. It brought me to tears. I am surrounded by many, many givers. And I don't know how to thank you enough for your support, prayers, and generosity.
