It's a lot of people - NOTHING like my family which you can count on 2 hands.
I won't complain about getting up so early this morning. My husband had to get up an hour earlier than me. He and his ministry friends have been working 10+ hour days these last 3 days getting ready for their big Christmas event today. There will be hundreds of very happy children in Camden, NJ today. I was just looking at the map of their location this year. It is quite an operation - the positioning of the tractor trailers, the food court, the bicycle yard, etc. It will be the one thing that will be difficult for my husband to leave when we move to Florida. In fact, it may be the primary reason why we keep both houses for awhile. The ministry as a whole is a huge act of love that he thoroughly enjoys being a part of. Without a doubt it has taught both of us over the years the true meaning of the expression "in giving you receive".
And on that note, here's wishing you all a very Merry and Blessed Christmas.
