We celebrated our 2nd amazing Christmas party on
Saturday with around 550 of our little Swazi friends. The kids ate a big meal, played in the jumping castle,
danced, heard the Christmas story, and then received the only gifts they will
likely receive for Christmas-new backpacks for school, toys, and a bag full of
snacks.
It was another day of happy tears for Marius and I as we
were humbled to be the hands and feet of Jesus in this land. As you celebrate Thanksgiving, please
know that we are giving thanks to God for your friendship, and for your
generous prayers and involvement
with us here.
It is highly unlikely we'll be eating turkey and dressing
with cranberry sauce on Thursday, but we will be here in Swaziland with grateful, thankful hearts that Marius and I can share in these
precious orphans' lives. The more
we serve here, the more we see how short and sweet life can really be, and we
can't help but want to make a difference with the few breaths God has given us
to breathe. WE LOVE YOU! Thanks for making a difference here! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
