I think it’s important to teach my kids the power
of giving back. Its something that I try to do all year long, but at
Christmastime when the focus can turn to, "I want, I want...", I
think its especially important for them to realize how much they have and how
they can give.
Last night we read The Sparkle Box and made our
very own box. We will write down all the things that we do for others this
Christmas Season and add them to our box. Then on Christmas, we can open it and
remember what we did, and how we used our time, energy and resources to bless
others in His name.
This is a new adventure for us this year. We have
done several things over the years and its fun to try new things and keep it
fun and refreshing, but this may become a tradition. So far we have been able
to add "Made Christmas cards for prisoners." We have several things
on our bucket list, which will be great to add to the Sparkle Box, and we will
see what else comes our way.
