Yesterday was pure joy! It was time to fill the baskets with toys and stuffed animals.... books and goodies for the Orphanage in Mexico. Missionaries Billie and Willeta Boren were here and my oh my it ws fun. The Lively Hope Children's Home is going to be blessed today.
Games and puzzles, art projects and dolls are sure to thrill the hearts of lonely children without their parents.
It fills my heart with joy to know that little children's eyes that are full of suffering are going to light up when a darling stuffed animal is put in their arms. I can see them now hugging
'theirs'. And their little arms holding tightly to something that is truly theirs.
Leave this basket here and let's go fill another one! I explained to the customers waiting to check out their purchases, 'this is what you are supporting when you shop here'. Everyone was happy to wait a moment, and it was good to let them see RMA in action for themselves. No one got in a hurry - there were 5 people lined up to check out - and they were thrilled to actually witness the gifts going out the door to the Orphanage.
Perfect! Looking for ways to help them learn English, we find 'Hooked on Phonics'. A complete set of books and videos to teach children with.
Garbage bags are filled with delights for kids. And wrapping paper to complete the surprises on Christmas for each child.
Last time they were here, they needed 9 toilets for the new wing built on the Orphanage. Now here are the toilet seats needed! Perfect completion. Take an extra one just in case.
The truck is loaded down with blessings aplenty! With hugs and smiles we said goodbye. To tell you the truth..... I would rather do this than anything else in life! It's so much fun.
