Each year Allen and I always adopt a family and provide toys for their family. This year we definitely wanted to continue the tradition of giving with our girls. As a mother, I hope to raise two young women who always give, with their whole heart! In our dedication prayer on Sunday, this was one thing that I prayed we would instill in them. This year we bought for two babies, both girls and both 8 months old... Ironic, I know (considering that our girls were 7 1/2 mo. old). These girls are foster children and are in separate families. I hope that this year they will not only receive the gifts from us but will also be placed in loving homes with people who truly care and love them. My heart breaks for children who are not able to grow up with a consistent family, I am a huge believer of adoption and I would love to adopt one day - can you imagine giving that gift to a child? Being loved, unconditionally, forever and ever Amen! As of now, I have my hands full with sweet Livy and Londyn but we will see where the road leads...
I urge each of you to remember what Christmas is truly about and try to not get caught up in the worldly ways. I stole this verse from another blog...
Jesus came that we may have life - and have it more abundantly! John 10:1
Our goodies for the kiddo's... and memaw's (she got a boy and a girl)!!!
