Our city has been transformed into a winter wonderland. We are stuck inside we stare at our sparsely decorated house not feeling that is okay to celebrate Christmas as in years past. What we have learned over the past months has changed us. We now know that there will be MILLIONS of children this year that wont get to know that feeling of a loving family. No hope of a stocking hanging from a fireplace or new toys to unwrap on Christmas.
There is an unsettling thought that we continue to think that our child will be lucky to get a meal on the day we celebrate our King coming to this Earth invading humanity, and changing the course of our entire history as a people. How did we get to this point? Why did this happen? What can be done to help reverse this spiral we are in? We know big thoughts and ones that are not pleasant to think about during this the most joyous time of the year.
This year we ask that you hug your loved ones a little more. That as you look at your child that you would remember that there are children around the world (20 million in Africa alone) that are waiting for us to do something even a small something to change their circumstances. Our wish this year is to take a moment from your day to visit one of the sites below to learn how you and our family can help with kids around the globe.
Below is a quick list of places where you can go to learn more and get involved.
