Acts 20:35

You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

I want to thank everyone who was involved in helping me exceed my goal for raising money for the school children. I had so much joy this past week purchasing food for their lunches (5 months worth), a soccer ball, a jump rope and delivering these items to the school. We also used some of the money to take the children into the city to the Children's Museum and to lunch at Burger King. This was their first time to both of these places and they were thrilled to say the least.

I took Reid with me to help deliver the "goods". He was very nervous and shy and normally would not of wanted to come. I am thankful I got to share this experience with him. The kids had no recess equipment, they just run around in their free time. So you can imagine the ball and jump rope were a welcome sight.

What kids wouldn't enjoy a jump rope!

At the musuem they were thrilled! Their favorite part was the water room. It was amazing to see the behaviors of alot of these kids. They immediately splashed the water on their faces and would just run their hands and arms in the water. I am sure it is because they don't see clean water in large amounts like this. They couldn't get enough of it!

Look at this precious sweetheart!

They really enjoyed this climbing activity.

The pretend supermarket.


This child is 15 years old! Look at the joy Burger King brought him.

They were so excited to get their crowns, toys, and ice cream. Their behavior was amazing! One thing we found very interesting and really moved us was when about half of the children ate the lunch. They drank their coke, ate their french fries, and ate some of their hamburger. Then they wrapped the other part of the burger up and put it back in their bag. We asked them what they were going to do with their burger. They told us, "We are going to take it home and share with our mom!" Wow, that about brought tears to our eyes! I think those kids knew the real meaning of Acts 20:35. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
