You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu

Sink Christmas-Plus

Merry Christmas to all....
Jan and I will be hosting the Sink Family Christmas this year and we would like to extend a warm welcome for all to join us on Christmas day at 5:00PM. Please bring something yummy to share at our evening meal. I thought it might also be fun to share some Sink family Christmas memories from years past...please be thinking of some special memory that you would like to share. If you can't join us but would like to share a memory, you can e-mail it to me at smith9655@gmail.com and I will pass it on for you. We will also be having the popular Sink Family gift exchange later in the evening. We can't wait to see you all.
There is still a little time left to get your donation to Stephanie for our adopted Christmas families. The girls went out on a limb this year and adopted 3 families that they found. We are a little short and any donations are greatly appreciated. Last year we gathered $1100 and we are $300-$400 short of that this year. We have been so....blessed as a family, and it is an incredible blessing for those we touch. I think of this passage of scripture when we do this every year.
Matthew 25
35 'for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;
36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.'
37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?
38 'When did we see you a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?
39 'Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
40 "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'
