Day 18

Today I am so thankful that our kids are going to get Christmas presents! Without the generosity of donors and Kids Alive supporters, many of our kids would probably not receive anything for Christmas. The Care Center is able to give all 320 kids new underwear, new socks, and a brand new item of clothing- all wrapped in pretty paper and placed right in their hands. Each kid will also get a special meal for themselves and to share with their family, and a treat bag filled with candy and fruit. All these gifts get handed out on the day of our big Christmas program and party. This is such an exciting day and I can't wait to see the looks on the kids faces when they get their gifts! I've loved working with Lidia on picking out clothes for each kid and wrapping the gifts. As I wrap, I pray that the each gift will bring encouragement and remind each child that they are dearly loved by our Heavenly Father.
