Christmastime is about celebrating Jesus Christs birth and following his example. Jesus served others throughout his life and if we follow him, we will serve others as he did. Also we must allow others to serve us on occasions. We have been taught that Charity is the pure love of Christ. Yesterday our family had the privilege of being served by our friends from "Logica". Our friends at Logica decided to give our family a special Christmas this year. We met with them at Make-A-Wish in the afternoon, where Mike Lauder of Make-A-Wish also joined us. Many beautiful people & gifts awaited our family. They invited us to open gifts and the kids could hardly wait to get started. Isaac was first, and he opened a cool set of Lego's, and another one and another. Isaac was also excited about the Moon Sand that he always wanted to try. Lauren & Brianna savored the moment and opened their gifts carefully and found many wonderful gifts tucked inside the beautiful packages. Among those packages was a couple of MP3 players, a digital camera, some Littlest Pet Shop toys, gift cards, and many other amazing gifts. It was incredible. Mike & I received some gift cards to go out on the town for dinner and a few movies. There were too many wonderful gifts to mention. Our friends from Logica were more amazing than the gifts they brought. They served us with so much love and it was fun getting to know them better. We all hope to get to know them all better throughout the years, and pray that they are blessed through their generous acts of service. Our family was touched that they would choose us to serve, when there are so many deserving families that could use this kind of service. We plan to "Pay it Forward" whenever we can and follow Jesus Christ and his wonderful example. We have felt the true spirit of Christmas through this wonderful experience, we will treasure the memories in our hearts forever.
