I just love this clip about the woman who washed Jesus' feet and her alabaster box. I can identify with the woman and how blessed I am to be forgiven by my Father!

Well, Chris flew to Florida this morning for a business trip - must be so hard on him, poor guy. :)We have a extremely busy week between b'ball and church and trying to get ready for Christmas, but I am not terribly worried. Things will get done.
I have really calmed down with the Christmas thing this year. Both sides of the family are only buying for children - whew! Our family is trying to focus on Christ this Christmas and no the trappings of presents and decorations. We also just decided to sponsor another Compassion child and we are very excited about that! We have sponsored Jenry Francisco Otoniel Chay Lainez, a 4 year old little boy from Guatemala this year and now we have added a little 4-year girl from Peru by the name of Jerlie Viviana Morales Bayona. They are both so precious. I wish I could post their pictures, but I can't so you will have to come visit our house to see pictures of them! I pray that your family might consider sponsoring a child through Compassion for the upcoming year. Chris and I have done this for about three years and it has brought our family so much joy knowing that we are helping a child be fed, clothed and taught about Jesus Christ. I am challening you this Christmas to reach out to those in need and find the joy in giving! Love - Melissa
