Wednesday was Chris's birthday- - -one of the kids we have been meeting with on Wednesdays and Sundays. He is also one of the boys we took with us to Branson. He seems like one of our own now and he is so special!! He told us on Sunday that Wednesday was his birthday. He also told us that his mom was not going to be able to get him anything. Soooooo that was all we needed to hear. We had a special birthday night for him at Jude's with cupcakes and hot chocolate. As you can tell from the picture at the top- - -he is too cool to smile while we were singing him Happy Birthday, but it was obvious to us that he felt very special. We had asked him what he wanted for his birthday and he said, "A Bible". Wow, how can you turn that down?!?! So we purchased him a Boy's Devotional Bible- - -his face was priceless when he opened it. Here is the picture:
He wasn't cool enough to hold that smile back!!
