So today I've been thinking about what I want for Christmas. I love giving and getting gifts. I know it sounds so selfish to say that I love getting gifts, but it would be a lie if I said I didn't.
The thing I truly hate though is making a "Christmas List." It is the worst ever. So instead of gifts this year I would rather have people help others. Here are some examples of what I'd love to see....
And it's an awesome gift! Make sure to check out the rest of Sueanne's gorgeous jewelry!
TOMS!! Who doesn't love a good pair of shoes? Here's what would be awesome....
Buy a pair of TOMS, therefore providing a pair of shoes to a child without any, and then give the newly purchased TOMS to a shelter or someone you know that needs a pair of shoes.
This family is truly living out the scripture that says to care for the orphans. They have adopted several children, most of these children have special needs and are in the process of adopting another child. I tell my parents all the time that I pray that God will bless me with a husband who will seek this type of family with me. Oh what a blessing they have been. I know I will be sending them a card with some cash for adoption assistance in it. They are awesome people.
100% of Maggie's proceeds go to a family in the process of adopting! What a sweet heart!
As an alternative why not give a gift in honor of someone, or ask that people donate in your honor. At World Vision you can chose to give a goat, a cow, mosquito net or even a TB test. So these gifts are incredibly practical for many people around the world. How awesome to know that instead of a gift gathering dust, it would be providing life or health for someone in this world!!
