I was more than thrilled to come into work this morning to find the storage room jammed packed full of Christmas boxes!!! This year boxes from Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia have made their way to Cambodia and our church, New Life and its sister church Phnom Penh Themi have been chosen as recipients!!!! So boxes have been allotted for our school, the Children @ Risk project and the Joy Club kids program on Sunday mornings as well as programs at Phnom Penh Themi and others in Phnom Penh. We are having our Christmas program and party on the 19th at school here and each student will get a box....AND its a surprise! The kids here come from orphanages and poor families and most have never recieved a present at Christmas. I am SO excited to see first hand these gifts being given out after spending years preparing and packaging up boxes back home in Canada.
I think its gonna be one of those moments that brings me back to the reason why God wants me here. To love. To serve. To have my heart broken with the things that breaks God's heart. And to have my heart overflowed with joy. With praise and honor to the God who loves these little kids so much. God is going to cry tears of joy when He sees those kids get the Christmas boxes.
Jesus loves the little children
all the children of the world
red and yellow, black and white
they are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
