In particular, I wanted to give a big shout out to the 15 ladies that I along with my co-hostesses (a.k.a Asian sistas) Kim & Aimee know from or through our church who gathered together Friday night to donate cookies and assemble packages for the clients that we work with through serving at Open Hands Food Pantry, Central Detroit Christian and one that I volunteer with, Judson Center. The picture shows part of the 200 cookie & candy packets that we were able to start distributing along with some bibles, and we are truly grateful for your generosity. I was so thrilled by the abundance of our results (fishes & loaves, right Jodi? :) - THANK YOU!! While just a small gesture to some communities that are hurting, our hope was to spread a little Christmas joy to others in obedience to God calling us to continually care for our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Despite the recession, Americans have already spent over $16 billion this holiday season - and that's just online sales! Please, please remember your neighbors in need as you plan your Christmas giving.
