The gift

Dear Friends in Christ -
Today we received the most amazing gift. One of the kids of the church and her mom made a birthday present for Jesus. It's a book, and we got to read parts of it during the Children's Moment at the 10:00 a.m. service.

In the book, Olivia tells part of her story: how she came to this country as an orphan, to meet the Mommy that God had prepared especially for her. And then Olivia tells what she does all during the year to help others and to honor Jesus - taking cards to people in nursing homes, giving food to those in need, and enjoying His creation.

May we all take a page out of Olivia's book and honor Jesus at His birthday, by doing the things that make Him happy - caring for others and being thankful for His gifts to us.

Faithfully,
Janet+
