At this time of year, so many things go through our minds. No matter where we are, I think that there are many memories associated with holidays. There are many emotions too. Thankfulness, joy and love and also sadness, loneliness and pain. I am grateful that at this time of year many are looking for ways to reach out to others and make a difference.
Can I share again about the Angel Tree at Reece's Rainbow? I think this is an amazing ministry that offers hope to children that need a family. Children that due to their special needs may be less likely to be adopted than others.
If you are still searching for a Christmas gift for someone, please consider sponsoring one of the beautiful children on the Angel Tree. www.reecesrainbow.com
Since the Angel Tree started on Nov 1st of this year, 9 children have found their forever families. There are still 98 children waiting. There is great need and any gift is tax deductable.
I also wanted to share this amazing blog entry with you. Please take a few minutes to go read it. I think your heart will be touched. It's the entry for today Sat 13 Dec 2008 if you happen to be reading my blog on a later date. It's a beautiful story and a reminder of how adoption has touched all of our lives.
Merry Christmas.
