What It Is All About
When you become successful there are trappings in the continued want to be relevant. Then, you meet someone who wants nothing but to give back to the community what the community has given him.
We here at the Review have known Wayne Reaud for many years. What started as (to say it best) a hard relationship on either side of a political fence has turned into a relationship of respect. We have been told around here that you never know someone until you know them. Not to which you hear.
Wayne Reaud put on his annual Bibles and Bikes program at Ford Park this year. Mr. Reaud for those of you who do not know him is a political powerhouse and has helped people for years. He was successful in winning one of the biggest judgments in Texas history – if not the United States.
Thousands upon thousands of children from around the area and beyond are brought to the Ford Park arena and are given a bible and a bike. The lesson? God then family.
They have tried to emulate this program here in Southeast Texas, however, there is only one man who wants to make sure children have a bible and a bike that many of them only see others get in their lives. And to watch this process and the smiles on their face when they learn about God and some even learn how to ride a bike that they never dreamed they could have. Thus, the Bible teaches the word of God and the Bike lets them know it is okay to dream, love, and want as your dreams sometimes come true with hard work.
So as we start this week, being Christmas week, our love thoughts and prayers are that many children in East Texas learn about God and Faith that hard work and the belief in a higher power can move their lives further, and love for each other can draw even the strangest people together as one.
Enjoy your Christmas week, take a peek at your Bibles, and maybe go for a ride. This is from the Reaud family :
