Christmas and Uganda

This year has been very difficult for me to get into the Christmas spirit as it seems so commercialised. My mum tells me that I need more clothes for school (I started 6th form this year so it is the first year for a long time that I don't have a uniform). I think yeah maybe but when you have seen kids with no parents who have 2 sets of clothes full stop it certainly takes the need out of it and I have stopped desiring earthly things.

This has given me opportunity to think about the spiritual side of things without the distractions. The thought that the best gift of all - God's own son was given at Christmas blows my mind.

So this Christmas spare a thought and a prayer for those who don't have as much as we do or consider giving to charity.

To make a difference to child's life by sponsoring them to go to school it cost only £10 a month. To give them food and shelter as well as an education it costs only £25 a month. If you want to do this comment below.
