7 days of Christmas!! What’s the best way to celebrate Jesus?? The gift of giving and service!
As I was in prayer, I was asking the Lord how could I break the thread of material want this Christmas and focus on him. That was what led to the 7 days of Christmas challenge!!
Today kicks it off and I want to invite you to join my family as we do little things everyday that will make a huge difference in someone’s life this season!
Day 1 - Have the children agree to one kid (or multiple) off of the angel in Walmart. Then shop solely for that child. All the children to guide the shopping trip. Explain that giving a gift.
Day 2- how many bell ringers can you find in day (or in a car trip). You can give the kids cash or quarters. Have them hunt for bell ringers and allow them to be excited to put money in their buckets. Allow then to ask questions to the bell ringers.
Day 3- go to anyplace, food, coffee or grocery store etc and have the kids pick someone and then pay for that person items.
Day 4- obtain a shopping list for the local food bank and shop to complete that list. Explain what the purpose of the food bank is for.
Day 5-offer free services!! Mowing a yard, cleaning up absolutely anything! Get on your local social media sites or use word of mouth and ask if anyone needs help with anything! Weather it be picking up an item from the store or offering a mom a nap while you play either their baby. Be creative!
Day 6- (Christmas Eve) Go around your town and pass out thank you notes, candy canes or anything that shows appreciation to Holliday retail workers.
Day 7- Christmas Day essentially but we will be doing our on the 23rd. Pray with the homeless. We are making a simple warm dessert (rice pudding) to pass to the homeless as we ask if we can pray for them.
Alright! Disclaimer, I need not proof read this.
We are off to an angel tree!
