What a blessing it is to be a part of such a wonderful group of people!
This year I was again got to be a part of our now yearly donation to the Anna's House Foundation. Specifically, buying gifts for foster children who would quite possibly not have a Christmas without the generosity of others. This year we set out to buy gifts for 8 kiddos. While last year they were all small kids this year they ranged from toddlers to teenagers.
From bicycles and tricycles to new clothes, toys and gift cards the more than $700 raised a few Friday nights ago did not go to waste. James 1:27 says, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widow in their distress and to keep ones self from being polluted by the world."
Through your generosity, this year our Celebrate Recovery family has once again been able to care for these children who by many definitions could be considered orphans. There parents aren't around for whatever reason, by choice of the state or choice of their own, but this year they won't be forgotten. I do hope these children can feel that they are loved. While we will never meet them, I know our God cares for them and is always there for them. Hopefully the families caring for these children will too feel the love and see how through your donations God is watching out for them, providing beyond a need at this time of year.
Thanks for donating. I look forward to being a part of this for many years to come.
Grateful Believer,
Chellie
