Mackenzie Got It Cut, Too!!!

Wow! Mackenzie cut her hair for Locks of Love, too. Four years ago, when Mallorie decided to grow her hair out for Locks of Love, Mackenzie started the adventure with her.

Friday was the day. Ms. Doris put her hair into 2 pig tails and measured carefully. Then the scissors did their magic. Mackenzie was very proud to donate her hair to children she may never meet or know this side of heaven.

Some may say that Mackenzie just grew out her hair and got it cut because her sister did it, but I would disagree. How many times do we want to do something because someone we know, or don't know, does something that we think is cool? Think of all those celebrities on tv who do things that we try to copy. Are they positive actions in our lives? Maybe, maybe not.

So when someone does something that changes a life and brings a smile to someone's face, we should want to do the same thing if we can. It is not copying, it is called emulating. Emulating someone means to try to equal or excel; imitate with effort to equal or surpass. We are called to emulate Christ in our daily walk. In no way can we equal or surpass Him, but we can try to imitate Him.

Way to go, Mackenzie. Your family and I are very proud of you, and I know that Jesus is proud of you, too.
