Life in The Family International

Merry Christmas yet again! I am pleased to let you all know that our miracle tailor was indeed a miracle tailor and stitched all the kids’ costumes in two days! They look quite good too and are quite close to what we had originally wanted. And of course the kids look so totally adorable in them and faithfully impress all the visitors that come over. As I explained last time, probably all over the world in The Family children are a big part of our Christmas. They are taught to perform, sing, act etc and use this time to reach out to others.

We started out a bit late with them this year, but their program has actually come out quite good. They must have done about 15 shows so far in old folk’s homes, schools, and of course at home. Speaking of shows, we have now done our second college program, you can check out the photos down below.

One more interesting titbit is that this Christmas–Christmas Day to be exact (Deepa if you are reading this, please hold your breath)–I am going to sing! You can really all start praying quite desperately, and anyone who knows me and is reading this – you understand!

This Christmas we all are pushing something called ‘stretching our faith’, which basically just means doing something that you are not used to doing or pushing yourself further than what you usually do. So, I’ve done a couple things of this sort this Christmas and the Lord really came through for me, so thought I’d go all the way and do this as well…whaddaya guys think?

Gotta get to bed now, Kaila is sleeping behind me with her butt hiked up in the air. It looks hillarious. Now she’s waking up…..bye!
