2018 Christmas Letters

I wanted to share what I'll be sending to my Manna 4 Lempira sponsored children with their Christmas letters; which are due November 5.  Since my backpacks already contain longer letters, I decided to keep these short.  The cards will contain just this short greeting: "Merry Christmas, (name)!  Christmas is the day to celebrate when Jesus came to Earth on His rescue mission to save us from sin and make us into children of God- for anyone who turns to Him.  He loves you so much.  I am praying for you always and hope to see you soon."  My newest sponsored girl, Ashley, will be getting a longer letter since it will be her first one.

Since we often have letter deadlines that are before the holiday supplies come out in stores, I usually stock up the year before.  This year, I did already find some things in time to add to last year's stash.  I'll be sending nativity cards that can stand up as decorations, stand-up paper trees, Christmas sticker books, and Christmas-themed cartoon activity sheets.  I'm also sending them each a picture of my trip to the beach this summer.  I just need to put everything into some pretty festive envelopes and they'll be ready to go!
