Unwrapping joy

Ann Voskamp is reaching out to children in Uganda. She writes here about an African girl named Peace and a Canadian girl named Shalom.

And all the world could come into the peace of reaching out. We could come into the presence of the reaching Christ. We who live with hands closed have lost all gold; we who live with hands wide open have more than a thousand fold. This is not a trite saying. This is the only way to make your life into a true, real-life love story. Is there anything else worth living?

If one family on this side of the ocean could be the gift back – only to find that being the gift back is how you unwrap joy.
