With all the nasty, depressing stuff confronting us these days, we all have to remember to keep smiling. So I like to slip in some cheerful news every so often – like this wonderful, “sweet” story about a Kentucky brother and sister who found an amazing way to share the gift of Jesus’ love for Christmas.
 
 
Picking up the mail one day, Gabe and Livvy Feinn discovered their grandmother’s copy of the Samaritan’s Purse Gift Catalog ~

Intrigued, Gabe, 13 at the time, and Livvy, 9, decided they wanted to raise $14 to buy chickens for an impoverished family overseas. Selling cupcakes at a garage sale, they made more than twice their goal. Encouraged by their success, they decided to support a family by paying for a goat. It took them just two days to raise the money.
 
Gabe then told his mom, “We want to do something that takes a lot of faith.” They looked at several possibilities and set their hearts on a far bigger goal: $35,000 to renovate a mission hospital.

 
Here’s the rest of their inspiring story… SMILE!
