Update on Tim's Gifts for Christmas by proxy

Well, Perla sent a gift in Tim's name to a person she knew last year . It was someone she had a hard time getting along with a while back. Thanks Perla.

During a cold spell, I gave the gift of warmth, in Tim's name! I kept the home fire burning almost around the clock ( with Jason's help chopping the firewood). Our Texas acclimated bodies can't handle freezing weather. I was back to foraging for firewood in that big pile . I had to battle quite a few fire ants that had a hard time letting go of their squatted homes. Those guys are ornery critters. Everyone in our busy household, huddled around the fire as much as they could as well as quite a few visitors. Tim's picture sits on the mantle- right next to the manger scene.

I found 3 more people that needed coats and an older man that needed shoes. One was a Hispanic girl of about 12, Rosa. She was the oldest of 7 children- sound familiar?

I heard that Maya and Tim's girls had something in the works. Stay tuned and Merry Christmas again and again. Keep giving the gift of love and "cheering up" to those the Lord brings across your path!
