Putting Christmas in Perspective

It is so easy to block our minds and be focused on ourselfs. We found our girls getting so focused on potential gifts and forget the true meaning of Christmas. Nani realized the poor would not get anything nor be aware of Jesus being God's perfect gift to us.
So we loaded 2 boxes with new shoes and many cloths in the car and took a random dirt road outside Kigali. we drove a ways in until we noticed great poverty, we started to hand out cloths and shoes, hugging people and wishing them a good Christmas. The photo's speak for themselfs. People we surpised and happy. And for us... it helped to bring life in perspective again and to put our focus back on Christ, the reason for Christmas.
