Thank you

Getting home from Uganda is always a bitter sweet moment for me. While I'm thrilled to be home in my own bed, take a long shower and see family and friends- I can't stop thinking about all those little faces on the other side of the world. Last night, I laid in bed for hours and honestly, my heart hurt. Amani Baby Cottage does a phenomenal job raising these kids; they love on them, give them a roof over their heads, feed them, clothe them but the reality is still that these kids don't have a mom and dad each night to call their own. Last night all I could think about is these kids have literally no idea there are people all over the world that truly love them and pray for them daily. Me being one of them. Believe me, if I could adopt them right now, I would. And I mean that with all sincerity. These kids have so much joy and love to give and deserve the best. 

All that to say, Thank you. Thank you for helping me be blessed this Christmas. You guys sent toys, clothes, umbrellas, books, soap, shampoo... the list goes on. Seeing their faces on Christmas is something I will never forget. 

These kids have a long journey in front of them. We all do. But just like these little kids on the other side of the world, we sometimes forget that each one of us has someone that loves us and their heart hurts for us too. This holiday season, I hope you know you are loved. Sometimes you may not feel like it, but there is always someone who's heart longs to see your face light up too. 

Merry CHRISTmas.

Love,
 Courtney
