I love all my kids so much. It is a thrill and a joy to see them growing and showing evidence of Jesus moving in and through them. We have truly befriended a homeless couple, James and Laurie. We have them over often and they sleep on our floor on very cold nights. The kids have loved on them so well!
Several weeks before Christmas, without my knowledge, Abiel wrote several of her friends to ask for a donation to give to James and Laurie! One day she came to me with $50 in checks and a few dollars! I was blown away! She also has a "giving fund" of her own that had $40 in. She told me she wanted to buy Laurie a Bible and give her the rest of the money as cash!
It was delightful to watch Laurie open her Bible and card with all that money knowing it was all Abiel and her friends! Later that evening, James called and with a choked up voice and tears in his eyes (I could tell!) he expressed his amazement and gratitude for Abiel's gift!
Jesus, thank you for your heart of love and generosity expressed through Abiel this Christmas! We love you!
