Christmas Box

We left home with a very sweet assignment.  

We have a friend named Kennedy, better known as Pookie to us.

She is a precious girl that we have known since the day she was born.  

She is one of Esther's best friends.  They act like they have known each other their whole lives.  Her parents have been some of our  very bestest  friends for about 20 years and will be for  all ETERNITY!!

The night before we left Kennedy brought a Christmas box for us to give to a girl.

Well, the hard part is wherever you go in Uganda there is never just 1 kid, and if you don't have enough for the "group"....you better not give it out.

  There is many many many children everywhere you go, and if you get out of the car with something in your hands....there is many many many more.

We drove around for several days with this perfectly packed Christmas box for the perfect girl in the dash of our car in Uganda.

One day, we were looking at a water project that Robert, Kennedy's dad, is interested in,  and we saw Agnes.

  Agnes was the girl that the Lord intended this sweet Christmas box to go to.  

When we met Agnes, there was only one other child around and it was her baby brother and we had some gifts for him as well.  

This Christmas box meant so much to Agnes and her mother. 

 They are so grateful. 

 The highlight of the box and it's contents was the picture of Kennedy. 

 I can guarantee you, Kennedy will be famous to that family as it will be the only picture in the whole house and it will be treasured for years to come.

Romans 12:6-8

New International Version (NIV)

⁶ We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your^[a] faith; ⁷ if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; ⁸ if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,^[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
