The children in Yesu Ngwadidi Children’s Home in their new Christmas clothes.

Many times the trials today are the ones we laugh and tell stories about years later. This was the case for Yesu Ngwadidi Children’s Home. The director, Leslie Guta, tells the story:

Everybody in the house was happy to start this month. In the evening as we were chatting, we talked about what happened the last two Christmases. We reminded one another of the things that took place, like games and the food we ate. Esnati reminded us of how the chicken we wanted to kill for dinner was stolen by one of our neighbors. We laughed when we thought about it, but on the day it happened we were all upset.

I hope that you can laugh at your troubles today…or maybe by tomorrow, anyhow.
