"Like Working In Santa's Workshop"

I had a great spiritual experience yesterday.  My lover and I worked at Samaritans Purse, Operation Christmas Child processing facility in Boone, N.C., where we helped to send several of the 13 million Christmas boxes to children all over the world.  Yesterday we were processing boxes that will go to Benin, Africa.  As she and I checked each box, one of the workers came by and told us, “Remember, you will be the last person to see inside these boxes until some child opens them on Christmas.  

I spent the first hour looking down into each box, crying tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears from the Holy Spirit deep within me, crying for and with the children of the world.  God tears as He longs to “suffer the little children” as they come to Him.  

I have never had a more profound Christmas experience.  As we quietly rode home in the dark and blowing snow, my lover looked over at me and said, “It was like working in Santa's workshop.”  Yes, the one in heaven.
