I dunno but when it comes to partaking in these Christmas festivities -- I ain't feeling it. Ive never been one I do something just because everyone else is doing it. So I'm not moved by these Xmas sales and promotions, I'll buy or who I want whenever I want to thank you. (Laughs) But seriously I felt so good to be able to buy christmas gifts for two toddlers today -- toddlers who's only wish were for a ball and a book. Really? Their names were submitted by an organization that provides therapy for these children -- and other resources. These kids are living in homes that may not have electricity next month or food for all the kids. So meeting their need is a blessing-- to give. Truly.
Two yr olds need hope. In a world where tragedy is more common than triumph I know they are gonna be so excited to open up gifts sent aside for them with their names on it. Just imagine it! Someone knows my name! They didn't forget me! Someone recognizes me, and I matter. That is the kind of joy that children should know.
I stood there in line at the store in humbled admiration for God as he allowed me to be a part of another child's story.
Selah.
