We adopted a family in our Sunday School class. We took the gift cards over to them along with a book about the real meaning of Christmas, wrapping paper and a fried turkey! The couple was so delighted to see us. We had a short but wonderful time with them. We discovered that the husband is trying to get disability due to a stroke that he had not to long ago along with several other problems, tumor and his left leg. The wife was so inviting. She was full of smiles and hugs. She loved Griffin and took him from me for the pics! We had a prayer time with them and got to see there faces when they received all the gift cards! We had a total of 946 dollars worth! They will need it all for there 4 children, three teenagers and a 6 yr old boy. We got to meet the two oldest boys the oldest graduated from High School and is heading off to the Marines. So we will be praying for him!
The house was better than I expected. It was a really nice patio home. The sad part was there was no furniture when you walked in. They had a kitchen table and in the den they had plastic chairs. The kind you can buy to go outside. They did have a small colorful Christmas Tree. All I could imagine were all the gifts that would be put under it!
They were a wonderful couple and they even invited us and Shawn over for Christmas Dinner cooked by the Grandmom. The love was unbelievable! Thanks to all that contributed! Looking forward to the next year!!!!
