Last week we were talking about Christmas shopping and I asked the kids to each make me a list of their favourite items. Rachael came to me afterward and said…. “Mom, I really don’t need anything this Christmas, so maybe instead you could sponsor a needy family or something instead.” – my heart melted. My 12 year old girl who would love a camera or new clothes really felt that the needs of others were probably more important. We chatted and I have something in mind for her (don’t want to spoil the surprise) – but she also did come up with a small list of things she would like under the tree as well. This blog post goes out with kudos to my “Fred” as we loving call her! This photo is from her birthday this past January…. we love you Fred!!
My little girl with a great big heart….

How nice. My thoughts exactly. What we spend on Christmas here would be so benefical to children in foreign countries who really need an education. I’s so blessed to have parents who taught me to give to others first.
