This Christmas, a new idea fell afresh on us. It is better to give than receive! After much heart work that the Lord was showing us through our abundance living in America, we felt we had to do Christmas a little differently this year. So, a friend of ours suggested 12 Days of Giving for the kids to give them a better understanding on what Christmas truly is about. Brilliant!
On the first day of Christmas, Micah and Caelan gave to...
"The man ringing the loud bell" says Micah. Or the Salvation Army.
On the second day...to Angel Tree,
the largest ministry that reaches out to the
children of incarcerated parents. Our giving
was a gift card at Walmart.
On the 3rd day, gently used coats
to needy kids.
On the fourth day, they made
home made gifts to their teachers
in Community Bible Study. To say
thank you and Merry Christmas.
As a plug for newest hobby, daddy let mommy buy some Stamping Up stuff and within ten creative minutes, I was able to take 1 candle and 2 boxes of chocolate and create personalized custom gifts with the kids for their teachers. Stay tuned on more of my Stamping Up creations! And for more ways the kids are doing 12 Days of Giving.....
