Here in the great, big city where everything seems larger than life, where glitz and glamour is just around the corner, we're keeping it simple this year.
Simple Homemade Christmas Cards ~ The children paint the art and then Mama gets it coloured photocopied for a refined finish. Always special.
Our gift for Jesus this year. The children earn money towards Jesus' gift by showing a "servant heart" during the weeks leading up to Christmas. Our gift will be given to Imara and Uwizeymana {the oldest girls' Compassion sister-friends} and to the dear lady who sleeps on the street down from our home.
And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ ~ Matthew 25:40
Good old-fashioned popcorn and cranberry garland to hang along the window with gingerbread.
Words to remind us ~ Love, Joy and Peace.
Warm sips of eggnog.
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
