A gift with meaning this year

Is your holiday shopping done?  Did you mail the letters to Santa?  Did you manage to find the best things from your child's list this year?  Not sure what to buy?

What about a goat?  That's right--a goat!  Many of us never hesitate to buy our children more than they need at Christmas time, but an ocean away there is a group of people without food or incomes.  They don't want the lastest toy or gadget.  They aren't even asking for money.  What would benefit them most is a goat or a pair of chickens.  By providing them with chickens or a goat we are giving them a chance to earn a steady living in their community.  Also, eggs or milk can help a malnourished child become stronger.  Along with these wonderful gifts they will also receive the message of Jesus this Christmas season--the best gift of all!

Think of what you giving others this year.  Think of how much you have already spent on people who love you and don't necessarily need those gifts.  Now think about those poor families that could so desperately use your help.  For such a small amount of money and a quick click of a button you can change their entire life!!  Please, show your children the real meaning of Christmas this year.

May the season bring you joy!
