Kids
are kids everywhere. We've been so blessed with several guests coming to
spend Christmas with us. We spent the last few days, bagging and distributing
food for a tent city, visiting orphanages with food and surprises. The
excitement on the kids’ faces is more than heartwarming. We were so
surprised to have a visit from social, services, about eleven people, some
dressed up like Santa, passed out chips and candy while our kids sang with
them. We spent a full day this week working our way thought
tons of traffic, and roadblocks to shop, for the special, dinner tomorrow for
everyone. Even though our Christmas tree looks like it had malnutrition, it's beautiful,
as the kids did some personal decorations. Our children spent the day cleaning
inside and out, excited about tomorrow. You would think someone really special
is coming, and it's not Santa! We invited our PAPPY SAM who for years had lived
at New Life and been a Loving Pappy, and Grand pappy to our children. He loved
them so much and then God called him to help struggling orphanage hours away.
We invited Pappy Sam and the orphanage of fifty children to join us tomorrow
where we bagged up extra goodies that teams brought, that our children will
give. They also made special cards for pappy Sam. We’ll have the Christmas
story together in the church after lunch, present their surprises, and then
have SLIP AND SLIDE fun, and end the day with hot dogs at night. What a blessing.
Thank you everyone who have made this so special for all of our children. Tonight,
they are building an outdoor fire for a fun time with music and SMORES, MERRY
CHRISTMAS FROM ALL OF US...From All the children and staff. Blessings,
Miriam
