Yesterday, Sunday, Kelan's mother, Andi, stayed in B.L.A.S.T. to help out. We talked about Christmas and the meaning of it. I had some yellow card stock at home that I made a circle and blue-green card stock to use for the ribbons. We were sitting at the table making a name tag with their name in the center of the circle, B.L.A.S.T. on one ribbon and SAN ANGELO FIRST ASSEMBLY OF GOD on the other ribbon. Andi wrote everything on each of the ribbons and while she was doing that we were talking about Christmas and what it was about. There was some extra ribbon so we made a chain. We would ask them a question and if they got the answer right (What is Christmas about - Jesus birthday) we would add to the chain. While Andi was finishing writing everything on the name tags Kelan, Josh and I were playing our game with the ball, (we bounce it to each other and tell them "Jesus, loves _______________" as we bounce it back and forth to each other. We talk about who gave us the balls, whose house this is, church. They both tell you that God gave us the balls, and that this is God's house. It is so wonderful and rewarding in so many ways being with them on Sunday.
I thank you God for blessing me with the opportunity to work with them. They are your Special Angels sent from above, and I get a blessing being with them every week. Just seeing the excitement and look on their face when we finish working on something, and how hard they work is such a blessing in more than one way.

WOW, Jr. just walked up and handed me a check for $200.00 and told me Merry Christmas. That was totally unexpected.
