When Travis told Upward of his families house fire, he was told to go get them some Upward gear, t-shirts, shorts, polo's etc. We had delivered those to them on Friday evening and that was the only cloths they had at that point.
Samuel had wanted to give them some of his birthday money (for which I am so proud of him!), so we met them at their house on Saturday morning. We arrived before them and were sitting in the van waiting for them when they did arrive. They all popped out of the car at the same time - Uncle Rick, Aunt Cindy, Ashley, and Aunt Lois - all in purple Upward t-shirts and shorts, which the players wear (as above). All they needed were two more players and they would be set to play.
I was a very funny moment, followed by a very somber moment when they caught their first glimpse of their home. We talked to Ashley, and she is still wearing her "uniform" to work in at the house.
Please continue to pray for them, but God has shown them such Grace and Mercy through His people. They have been given so much, really more than they can handle right now. They think the cause of the fire was a firework, so on this 4th of July week-end, please be careful!
I realize this may not sound funny to some, but most of my Friday Family Funny readers are from Upward and they will find this VERY funny!
