Blankets for Paraguay
It continues to amaze us how Paraguayans live with so little. In fact, it challenges us to live more simply and less selfishly as well. However, blankets are a matter of life or death for some Paraguayans. They don’t have heated homes and it gets into the 30s at winter (May-August). It’s a wet, freezing cold that chills me to the bone. We usually bundle up with three or four blankets at night. Because of your gifts to the MV Christmas Projects, we were able to buy 30 warm blankets to keep people (mainly children and shut ins) cozy this winter. We prayed with the families and thanked God for covering them with love, just like the warmth of the blanket. One of the recipients (the grandma) cried when we gave her the blanket, she was so happy.
Since you could not be here to see the look of joy in the faces of these humbled recipients, we wanted to bring their smiling faces to you. No one expects this type of generosity and it has allowed us to share God’s love when they ask us, “Why me?” Thank you again for reaching out beyond your context to help people you most likely will never meet, but people that God loves!
