Default Thanks to Prison Ministry Angel Tree

Ant signed the boys up for the prison ministry fellowship angel tree. It is so cool. They boys know that they are getting things from Daddy.. That has been such a blessing for us. It truly means so much for the kids.. I am so greatful for them and just love my husband for taking time to make something special happen for the boys for Christmas.. what a good daddy.. I am so proud of him..

I am part of adopting a angel. So it is so good to know that others are receiving it in other parts of the world. It is neat that they know that either mom or dad can still be a part of their Christmas even though they can't be there physically. So I am glad to hear it is doing alot for the kids spirits during this time especially.

I also adopted an angel.. The angel tree works both ways so I wanted to give back too.. The biggest part for my boys that DADDY got them something for christmas they were so excited. It really made me feel so much better and there little faces just lit up with excitement. It is worth a millon dollars to see there happiness..

That is a really cool thing to be able to do. I have a 2 yr old and she misses her daddy so much i put his name on all of her gifts. Att r family christmas party she told me that she misses her daddy. I wish he could have done something like that for Destiny. Christmas was really sad this yr.

This is the first year I knew anything about Angel Tree, but I managed to get my toys to one of the sites the same day they were giving them out. What a blessing it is to give. I only pray that next year God blesses us all to be able to give much more than a couple of toys. As seen here in this thread, so many children are given a Christmas that they may not have otherwise had! God is sooo good.....all the time!! Thanks for sharing the looks on their faces, the feelings in your hearts and the blessings that have gone forth!!
