What are we looking for.....
- clothes (in good condition)
- books (that your own children would enjoy reading),
- child age bibles or story bibles,
- small toys,
- board games (easy ones),
- card games
- and SNACKS.
We are allowed 2 luggages a piece and I'm pretty sure Tyvon and I will be able to pack most of our stuff in 1 suitcase therefore we have 3 others free to put donated items in. What a blessing this will be....I can't wait to love on our son and also all the other children. I'm pretty sure anything will put smiles on their face and just having us there but we feel compell to not go with empty hands. We are called to be the "SALT" and "LIGHT" of the world.
Here are a few verses to ponder....
- He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. Deut 10:18 (NLT)
- Give it to the Levites, who will receive no allotment of land among you, as well as to the foreigners living among you, the orphans, and the widows in your towns, so they can eat and be satisfied. Then the Lord your God will bless you in all your work. Deut 14:29 (NLT)
- Learn to do right (to do good)! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. Is 1:17 (AMP
