One of my favorite days this summer was our Christmas in July celebration with Ganas. Here is the Christmas story being acted out as it is read from Luke in the Bible. The two men are the stable where Mary and Joseph present Baby Jesus to the three wise men. The shepherds are standing nearby.
We sang Christmas songs together and talked about why we celebrate Christmas.
We decorated Christmas cookies.
played games together
and one thing we learned from the Casa Gabriel guys, it is not a party unless there is dancing!!
My Jordans
The short term team brought down presents for the kids. Jordan said that his buddy was so excited because he has only had 2 toys. He got two Hot Wheel cars and he told Jordan, "Look now I have 4 toys".
The girls with their Hello Kitty lip gloss ring and a Hot Wheels car.
This little girl hit the jackpot and found the cookie crumbs in the box.
What a special group of kids! We had a joyful Christmas celebration that day. My greatest prayer is for each child to know Jesus as his/her Savior and for them to know they are a child of God and are special and deeply loved.
