A CHRISTMAS GIFT THAT WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED

What "things" did you receive for Christmas last year? What about in 2001? Anyone remember? I remember some from last year, but 2001? No way!

Have you ever received a goat for Christmas? I haven't! But I have received chickens! One year, my friend, Ann, sent me one of my most memorable Christmas gifts: chickens! She had made a donation in my honor to an organization that was buying chickens to help impoverished people in a third world country. I'll never forget that one!

Hugh and I travel to Uganda every year in June. The church there tries to provide goats for widows with children. A goat will usually have 2 sets of twin kids (that's the name for baby goats) per year. With that one gift of a goat, that widow can provide food for her family constantly. If I gave her the $45 it would cost to buy her a goat, that money would be forever gone in weeks. But the goat will keep producing income. The problem is that the church is poor and needs help buying goats. That's where we come in!
