In preparation for Christmas, Shaun and I have done a lot of reflecting. We have 4 beautiful boys and a sweet one on the way. We have a great house with warm beds to sleep in. We have cars to drive and our children do not know the meaning of going without. In addition to all of the "things" we have, most importantly, we have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior. We know that we are loved by Him and He has paid for our sins. We have His forgiveness and we know His grace. How could we ask for more?
So, this Christmas season, we have decided to GREATLY pair down the present giving among our own little family to allow us to reflect on what we have. We have also made the exciting decision to sponsor a sweet little boy named Fernando from El Salvidor. This dear one, DOES know what it is like to go without. This young man serves as the man of his household at the tender age of 6. This little boy has no father. So, our family is honored to sponsor him and to pray for him. Our greatest prayer for Fernando is that he will come to know his Heavenly Father and experience God's love and grace. Please look at his sweet little face. If he happens to cross your mind, would you please join us in praying for him?
