Last Wednesday two little girls in Slave Lake were surprised with quilts that had been made for them by two little Burlington, Ontario girls. It is so wonderful to have a story such as this one occur during a time when all of Slave Lake is feeling so out of sorts to say the least. When I think of how much both pairs of children are learning from this and what they can take with them into the future it really warms my heart. The kindness and generosity of the girls in Burlington shines through and their parents need to be applauded for the obvious caring upbringing they have already instilled upon them. And here in Slave Lake our two little girls are learning how the kindness of strangers that brings tears to their Mother's eyes makes days of not having a house to go home to seem somewhat bearable . Knowing how much others want to do what ever they can to help them and all the rest of the Slave Lakers that have lost their homes get through this tough time will make them strong young adults who I am sure if called upon will pay it forward many times. Thank you Hailey and Courtney for your precious gift of love.
I have attached a link to both papers where you can read the articles that appeared in the Oakville and Slave Lake papers.
Well, now, didn't THIS give me goosebumps all the way down to my knees!!!
