A Christmas Story
Linda Tripp
When I was small and wanted something that my parents couldn’t afford, dad would tell me, “when my ship comes in”. Now, many years later that phrase comes to mind as we finished loading the Christmas container in the grand town of Arley last weekend. Our wonderful friends in Honduras will see that “ship come in”. It will come with much-needed rice, beans, and other food staples.

It will come with beautiful new sofas for Shalom, the girls’ dorm. It will come with clothes and shoes and blankets for the victims of the recent flooding. It will come with books and school supplies for the school libraries. It will come with gorgeous bolts of fabric for the sewing schools. And it will come with over a thousand “Christmas shoeboxes” for the children, most of whom would receive no other gifts at Christmas. But most of all, that ship will come with the love of God that He has instilled in each of us… to share what He has given.
