Sure does make you stop and think! <br />It IS so much more blessed to give than to receive!<br />At the school where I teach, the student council has been collecting loose change to provide Christmas gifts for an orphanage in Belarus. Our goal was $500.00. I am happy to say that over $1500.00 was collected! That's enough to buy a box of candy (a traditional gift in Belarus, I'm told) for each child in three orphanages! <br />We also collected gently used winter clothing for refugees from Iraq. We sent I don't now how many hats, blankets, over 60 coats, 39 pair of mittens, and 92 sweaters. I'm happy to say the Christmas Spirit is alive and well and bringing happiness to all the givers!<br />Joy to the world! <br />Blessings!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13048920109768877198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4194470134127218973.post-88283388912923691452009-12-22T13:28:19.159-08:002009-12-22T13:28:19.159-08:00Okay, that made me cry.

I will have to share this story with my family.<br />If you would be so kind to lift up a prayer today, my Husband and I are meeting with his parents today at 4:30 in hope of some sort of reconciliation between them and us. It is a very long story and something we have prayed and strive for in the past. But I'm full of fear... Much thanks...
