Okay we are getting prepared for our 15th-annual MIRACLE CHRISTmas. Jamie and I started this in memory of my mom who we lost to kidney cancer 14 years ago on October 11.

Here is the poem she left for us when she passed. It was out of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Book.

THE LEGACY

When I die, give what is left of me to children.
If you need to cry, cry for your brothers walking beside you.
Put your arms around anyone and give them what you need to give to me.
I want to leave you with something, something better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I have known and loved.
And if you cannot live without me, then let me live on in your eyes,
Your mind and your acts of kindness.
You can love me most by letting hands touch hands.
Love does not die, people do.
So when all that is left of me is love. . .
Give me away. . .

In honor of my mom, we thought what better way than to “GIVE HER AWAY” than by making her life a legacy and sharing her with so many unfortunate families at the holidays. We have been able to help hundreds of people in the last 15 years.

We are getting ready for our 15th-annual MIRACLE CHRISTmas. This year the “Happy Birthday Jesus” Party will be held at Sylvania Area Family Services. The families we are helping are already matched with a “host” family for the entire party so the ONLY help we need is help with serving the food and cleanup after the party. We need 8 adults for serving and 8 adults for clean up. We cannot take more than 8 adults as it becomes to overwhelming to the families that are getting help so all people that sign up will mainly be working in the kitchen. If you are willing and available, we would greatly appreciate it. We also need some 2 liters of pop, plasticware, etc. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!!

Right now we are looking for volunteers to help serve and clean up at the party on CHRISTmas Eve from 11:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. CLICK HERE to sign up if you can help!

This is called “MIRACLE CHRISTmas” as it is not an ordinary party, as Jesus was not an ordinary gift to us. God exceeded all our expectations with the gift he gave to each of us in Jesus!! No strings attached. Some of these families have never been loved unconditionally. This may be the first time in their lives that they feel God’s love and for some this may be the break they need in their lives. This may be the flickering light at the end of their “dark tunnel”. This is a special party on CHRISTmas Eve for 26 children and one adult and their families including Bibles for each child, reading of Jesus’ Birth, and lighting Jesus’ Birthday Cake as everyone sings HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JESUS!

GOD IS GOOD. . . ALL THE TIME!!!
