Today our Team Schlatter hands & feet moment is from Ben. He is donating his drum set to a church in Haiti. He is ready and willing, I am struggling with letting go of the memories that the drum set hold for Team Schlatter. David and I got the set of drums on a three way trade including cash and old ewes. (yes sheep!) The cow bell is from our favorite drummer once "basement dweller". Lastly as a mom I can still see him coming down in great surprise that Santa brought them to him, and how happy he was that Santa uses duct tape! (They were used and the previous owner had duct tape on the heads.) I was confronted today that we can step in the way of some one's giving if we are not careful. I could have easily been selfish and kept them for the memories. Then I came to the realization that the memories are in my heart, and how blessed I am to be raising a giver.
