We had our staff Christmas party today. We had a wonderful time playing games, eating together, opening gifts, and celebrating God's love. The kids were all dressed in new clothes and looked so nice. They were able to buy new Christmas dresses with Christmas bonus money. The kids also did a couple of dances for us and that was so neat. I cried a little... not sure why but thats okay. Moriah won one of the games we played:) She was carried by Rosemary in order to participate. She also had a beautiful dress on that Rosemary and Raja bought her. It is not very practical but it is cute:) Rani bought Moriah a blow up bear that is cute. Moriah just watches it and laughs. We had pictures of the kids printed and gave them to the families. They were very excited about this. They do not own cameras or have money to have pics developed so it is a real treat to receive pics. This is another luxury I always took for granted. It never occured to me that people would not be able to afford pics of their kids. We have albums and albums of pictures.
I also wore a sari for the first time. It is a little awkward at first but it worked out okay. It was worth it to see the ladies so excited. They love that I am trying to be more "Indian." They put a flower in my hair and gave me bangles to borrow on my wrists.
Rani came up to my apartment today with her daughter and granddaughter, Ruby. Ruby was born three months before Moriah. She has got the most hair I have ever seen on a little one. Rani was really encouraging me today that God has a plan for Moriah because He wanted her born in India. We had a really good time fellowshipping.
Now I am waiting for more carolers to come... It could be a late night!:)
