Wouldn't change a thing about a thing about you!

Today was absolutely amazing! I almost don't know where to begin!
Okay... Well like Brae and I have done in the past, we managed get our hands on some flowers! So what we did was take 39 flowers and made them into 39 tiny flower arrangements. We also had 5 flowers that we planted into 5 different pots! We delivered all these flowers to the major hospital near us.  We gave the 5 pots to the different desks at every ward. A really cool thing that happened was when one of the nurses said she saw us in the paper the day before. So she knew EXACTLY what we were doing! She was so happy to see us! All the nurses were! They really thought this was a sweet idea! Some of them even mentioned rooms they felt would enjoy getting a flower! As we walked down the hallways we made sure to stop and drop off a flower to any of patients we felt needed them! Most patients were sleeping or had visitors so we had a quite a few left! But the ones we did hand out really enjoyed these flowers! They smiled and said thank you! We decided though that we would take the extra flowers over to an old folks care home, the same one my grandpa lived in before he past away.  This is where we really saw the impact of what we were doing! Elderly people are so cute and sooo thankful! They don't get many visitors. So when we walked in they were Ecstatic! By the time we got there, everyone was eating but the nurses said it was fine! So went to each table one by one! And gave every person a flower. As we gave each lady a flower we told them how special they are! and to have a great day! Each lady LIT up like a little kid on christmas! Their reactions were priceless! I'll never forget those  HUGE smiles! They were just so cute! <3 The sad part was we were 7 flowers short! Brae and I felt SO BAD! but we told them we would come back again with more! And thats exactly what we plan to do! AH god is so good! I really hope he continues to remind how these lady's and patients how special they really are to him! and to Never Lose Hope!

Special Thanks goes out to Floral Inspirations! Thanks for all your help!

An encouraging call

So it's been WEEKS since Brae and I did any Tesh and Brae day stuff! But its never too late to start up again! On Wednesday we decided to make some phone calls! We grabbed the phonebook and picked 10 random numbers! We called them up and told them how special and important they are! And how we just wanted to encourage them!  A lot of the people liked it and said thank you! But one family didn't speak english so that one was a challenge. Out of the 10 numbers we called about half weren't home. (hahaha of course those were all the numbers I called). For those who didn't answer we ended up leaving voicemails!
