My Christmas Girl

Here's some new pics of my Christmas girl:




It is with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes that I post these. How crazy is that??!! It's so bittersweet. My heart leaps when that monthly email comes, yet it breaks when I see her beautiful face smiling at me. She's so beautiful and just takes my breath away. It's so sad to see her baby fat gone from her face and that "little girl" look blossoming. Mothers are always saddened when they see their "babies" becoming big kids but it is even sadder when you know these kids aren't with their families- they are growing up 1000's of miles away. And.... this is a really depressing post lol. So I'm going to stop!

Aww, she is so cute. It is very sad that she doesn't have a family. But we can pray that her forever family will come very soon and also that God will give her joy and peace. He is able, and all things are possible through Him. Thanks for posting, it makes things seem more real when we actually see pics of an orphan in her everyday life.

What a sweetheart! Oh, may God bless her with a forever family, and most importantly, a spiritual family, very soon!
Is she a sponsor child of yours?
