We enlisted family and friends to sew stockings, collect presents and travel with us to Haiti where we shared these gifts and the gift of time and love with the fifty orphans at the Children of Hope Orphanage in Thomazeau, Haiti. Since these children had never celebrated Christmas, they had no frame of reference for Santa Claus or the sickening commercialization of this frantically materialistic holiday.
Instead, they shared the Love of people who desperately care for them.
They countenanced the Joy of playing with soccer balls, board games and making crafts with their new found friends.
They found Peace sitting in our laps reading their new books.
A Godly man once said, “...give to those who can’t give back to you without expecting anything in return. Then your reward will be great.”

This was truly one of the greatest Christmas experiences I've ever been a part of. Thanks again. It was an honor.
ReplyDeleteIt WAS my Christmas. I will never forgt the looks on those precious faces as they received their very own sack and stocking with their names on them. I just wish all those who sewed the thousands of sequins on the stockings could have witnessed the joy in the faces of those children when they saw their names on them. Priceless. THANK YOU to all who sewed, bought gifts, gave up a large part of their Christmas break to travel to Haiti and prayed for these precious children. It was worth every stitch, pricked finger and loads of time to do this for "the least of these".
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to spend Christmas. Thanks so much for making it happen.
