On December 4th, 2010 the First Baptist Church of Marietta hosted a Breakfast with Santa party in their facility. First Baptist invited the women of Family Dependancy Drug Court and their children to share in the special event and to offer their children a holiday celebration.
In the words of Justin O'Dell (Chairman Elect of Reconnecting Families, Inc) to the mothers who attended:
At Thanksgiving and Christmas, we are reminded of the blessing in our lives. Please know that you each are a blessing to the Cobb County and Marietta communities, especially to me and the folks whom I am closest.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Reconnecting Families, thank you all. You have given us wonderful stories to share. You have given us smiles and reasons to brag. You have given us an opportunity to talk about hope, success and bright futures at a time when people want to talk about bad news. You have given us the chance to devote our time, talents and treasure in making an investment in you and in your children. There is no greater asset in the world than people. A simple investment in the lives of those around you will pay dividends forever. You provide those dividends each and every day. It is our privilege and honor to support you, to know you and to help you in little ways to recover and to succeed. Each day, we are all honored to be a small part of this program.
On behalf of the First Baptist Church of Marietta, thank you all. You have given us moments of your lives, big and small, which we will always treasure. You have shared your hardest moments and your greatest accomplishments. You have given us the gifts and blessings of watching your children laugh, smile and play. For those that have graduated, you have provided the finest example of redemption, humbleness and inner strength. For those that have yet to graduate, you have provided us the promise that we will have a continuing chance to help where needed.
You all remain in our hearts and prayers. May you each enjoy the peace and blessings of Christmas.
Truly,
Justin O’DellAttorney at Law
