Matthew 21:21-22 states: Then Jesus told them, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain,'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,'and it will happen. You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it."
These are the words God spoke to me as I was feeling such a burden for so many children at Christmas time. Just the thought of some children not having anything Christmas morning was weighing heavy on my heart. He said, to ask in faith and believe you will receive. A huge thank you goes out to some of our supporters that made this happen. Because of you, we are so happy to say that fifty children were given a brighter and happier Christmas. One family had wrapped up chap stick and coloring books, several families had no presents at all, and some just needed to be shown the love of Christ. Most children received bikes, games, balls, makeup, clothes and shoes along with a host of other things. For many, this was all they received on Christmas. God was so generous to even bless us with several Christmas trees for families that had none. In most cases, I was able to bring the mom or dad and let them do the shopping, needless to say, this was the easier way for a non-shopper like me. However, this could not be worked out for all and we were even delivering presents on Christmas Eve. The pictures above do not even begin to showcase all the children, it is only a sampling.
We can truly say this Christmas was different than any other and the start to many more. God's word says in Acts 20:35 And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'
Thank you again to those that made this possible, you know who you are...........May God bless you with peace, love, joy and abundance this upcoming year. You are truly a blessing....
