A Very Special Sponsor Family!

I have said it before, we are blessed with wonderful sponsors at Pearl River Outreach!

We have a very special family in the Netherlands that have allowed us to make sure our Hengshan babies are toasty and warm this winter! They sent us a donation and asked us to buy warm clothes for the kids. They also happen to be Jamison's sponsors. So, not only did Jamison get to celebrate his birthday in style this year. He also got to celebrate in a new hat, mittens, scarf, shoes and a snow suit! And, so did his friends!!!!

Thank you "V" family, for loving our Bamboo Babies! And, for making Jamison feel so very special! You are a blessing to our Hengshan babies!! And, we are truly grateful for your great big hearts and your generosity!

Happy Birthday Jamison and Oliver!!

Thanks to a very special family, we are now able to celebrate the birthdays of our Bamboo Babies in a special way! We have received a donation that allows us to make each one of our babies feel extra special on their birthdays by celebrating with a cake, and even a party with their friends!! The first of these birthdays just happened recently. I am so excited about this amazing blessing for our kids, and their foster mothers!

Happy birthday Jamison and Oliver! And, thank you from the bottom of my heart C & M!

Our Bamboo Babies were recently blessed with beautiful hand sewn quilts from a special worldwide organization, named The Relief Society. Their motto is "Charity Never Faileth." Women from 18+ are members. This specific fabulous group of women is in Lawton, Oklahoma. Many of these special ladies are Army Wives, stationed at Fort Sill, OK.

We at Pearl River Outreach, our so grateful for the beautiful quilts that you have given our children. And, thank you for using your gifts to bless our Bamboo Babies!

Please know, each stitch is now being loved on and appreciated!

Thanks to Jamison's sponsor, I am not too late in posting a great big Happy Birthday to him! Every photo I see of this precious boy he is smiling!!! What a blessing! Today, Jamison turned 5! We pray he finds his forever family this year!

And, his Bamboo Baby pal turned 2 on Thanksgiving Day! Happy Belated Birthday Olivia! We hope this is a very special year for you too!!!

Thanks again Lisette for the reminder that today is Jamison's very special day!

Blessings,

The Meadows Gifts of Love!

The photos below, are an example of what happens when a loving group of people come together to bless another. It shows how the gift of love can make the world of difference in the life of an orphan. I wonder what they would say if they truly understood that six special people a world away, planned, prayed over, packed and shipped these special gifts to them. This was a humble act of loving kindness by one of our sponsor familes and their Bible Study Small Group. On behalf of PRO, I personally want to thank you Jennifer, Bridgett, Heath, Roman, Jordan, and Scott!

Here are the photos of just our Bamboo Babies with their gifts... Several children in Hengshan were blessed by this special project...

We are working on some ideas to spread this project out to our ZJ and Changsha children and their orphanages for Christmas. Please watch for postings on how you can help. What a great way for your kids, friends, small groups to get involved. I would love to hear your ideas!

Thank you again to "The Meadows Gift of Love" group for blessing the little ones in Hengshan!
