I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I know my family and I did.... Instead of dong gifts, our family (of 5) and a good friend of ours, met up on Christmas morning, to hand out presents to people in need (like people without homes, or poor families). We changed a lot people's thoughts, and maybe even lives. It felt good to give, as we handed out little gift baskets and some of our toys we don't play with anymore. And then after that, we went home, and ate "brunch" with the rest of our (LARGE) family. But, poor Gavin and Maribel, and all of the other children in their orphanage (they are not in the same orphanage/region), they had to spend Christmas day in an old, nasty, unloved and depressing orphanage. (You could give them a great, late Christmas present by donating to their grants, and just one dollar, could help sweet little Maribel find her "forever family"). I just kept looking at sweet Gavin's pictures all around our house, and felt so bad for our little Gavin, wishing he was here with us right then and now. But I kept remembering, "He'll be here with us, in our arms, next Christmas, and will never have to spend Christmas alone and unloved again." Gavin, we love you very, very, much, more than you can imagine. We will be there soon to rescue you, love you!
