Faithful Friend
� Dec. 11, 2007 - Giving
This time of year can be very stressful with so many things to do before Christmas. Shopping, baking, cleaning, wrapping gifts, etc. It seems the list is never ending. I really like the list that cakeandcam has on her blog for less stress during the holidays! Reading over this list helped me to re-evaluate my priorities for the next couple of weeks.
We met at our local Wal Mart with the youth from church to purchase gifts for needy families last night. We had the best time picking out clothes, shoes, socks, and a few toys for these precious little ones. We divided into pairs and headed out to shop till we dropped, then we shopped for groceries for each one. This was the first time to participate in gift giving for many of the children. They had so much fun! We are praying the Lord will help them see Jesus in our "giving". We have the opportunity in doing this to talk with them about Jesus and why we are helping them. There is such Joy in giving!
