Day #85: Give a Picnic for Friends or Family

Stephanie's sister, brother-in-law, and two nephews live about two hours from Asheville. Today, they met us for a fun-filled day of hanging out together and sightseeing.

We met at 11:30am for a picnic. The Appalachian Mountains are beautiful this time of year - perfect for being outdoors. Stephanie and I brought simple fixings for all of us to eat - strawberries, melon, honey-roasted turkey, cheese, bread, carrots, and crackers.

The picnic was a great way to kick off our day. Our families have a lot of fun together so we miss them already.

One of the fun things I remember doing as a kid is having picnics! We couldn't afford to eat out often or go to amusement parks and things like that - but Mom knew how to make a simple day fun - with a picnic a frisbee and the great outdoors!

Ahhh...giving a picnic. What a beautiful idea. We are all so busy - this is like giving people peace and a slice of well-deserved time. What a gift!

What a lovely way to spend a day. A picnic in what looks like a Monet painting:)

Our family spent 2011 traveling the USA in an RV, striving to intentionally "give every day" for the glory of God. We interviewed CEOs of nonprofits and served alongside over 40 organizations and churches.

Our Pledge

We hereby pledge:

- To spend intimate, quantity time with our family.
- To actively help the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the helpless.
- To value, protect, and advocate for children.
- To de-emphasize the importance of “stuff” in our lives.
- To bring publicity to good causes and good people.
- To live with intentionality, as if this year was our very last.
- To observe the needs in our country/community – and then do something about them.
- To give – every day.
