We had very excited kids working on our Mother’s Day projects. Each kid confided that it was the only gift they had for mom but what a great job they all did. We made a jewelry box and necklace for each mom. The kids were thrilled to combine it with our other donations as they were able to wrap a special gift for mom and add it to a  Mother’s Day book, bath soap, lotion and a card. I don’t think I’ve seen our boys so excited since Christmas!

We also took on the challenge of creating our own special place in the world this month. Kids painted a small house, then worked on a landscaping project to add thier house to. It was amazing to see the variety of wonderful creations our kids came up with as we talked about what would make “our world” more special.

We are having great reports from the kids this month too — Lot’s of good things happening at home for many of the kids recently. Thanks for all your prayers of support! 

Watch for pictures to be added soon.
