(This was written on Saturday, 3/30. But I figured out what was wrong with my posting, so hopefully I’ll actually be able to post what I think I’ve posted now!)
Ok, so I know that tomorrow is Easter. But on Monday it was Christmas at my church. The Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes arrived and got passed out! Many of us have filled these boxes for years, so I thought that you may enjoy a few pictures of them being passed out. It was a big to-do, and the national TV company was even there to document it. ( Gee, I may have been on TV!) My favorite picture is the one of the girl in green, sitting on the pew. Her name is Jamima and I get to spend time with her each week since she is one of my Compassion girls (one of the girls sponsored through Compassion International that I get to work with each Thursday). I love her big smile and know that she was very excited to get her present.
Christmas isn’t usually celebrated in March, but Jesus probably wasn’t born on December 25th, either. The important thing is to celebrate and share about Jesus’ birth. And the reason He came was to die and come back to life, which is what we celebrate tomorrow. So Merry Christmas and Happy Easter!
