I have no idea why "I" got to be a guest speaker at this luncheon but, it was one of my most favorite events. I was truly humbled by everyone in that room.
The event was hosted by the Utah County Child Abuse Prevention Team, held at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. The room was full of volunteers who are constantly serving and dedicating their lives to helping children. It was a wonderful luncheon, with yummy food and great people who inspire me to be a better person. I am so grateful for people who make a difference in so many lives, especially the lives of children. Thank you, and bless you!
