Christmas in July!

Samaritans Purse, an organization in the US, sent gift boxes for the street kids that come to the school each day for food. It was one of the best days I have ever been a part of. My church, Eden Bible Church, participated by donating boxes to this ministry before I left. I loved seeing the kids hold their boxes and they were so surprised. Many of them didn't understand that we were giving them to them to keep. Most of them didn't know what to do with themselves once they recieved their boxes. Seeing these kids get something when they are used to nothing was an amazing experience and it reminded me of the joy we can have in the little blessings in life. When I watched these children recieve these boxes, open them and then share there goodies with their parents and the rest of the families, I was so touched. It encouraged me, even here in Namibia, to remember to look at the blessings, both big and small, that God gives me each day. Check out the pictures below of the children on day they recieved their boxes. I love the expressions on their faces, they don't know what to do with themselves! ;-)
