I am so not into the materialism that our society has turned holidays and birthdays into. It seems that they have made these events into a race between the haves and the have nots and who ever spends more and gets more is the winner.
We say God bless America, when America has an abundance of blessings already. Not that it is bad to ask for blessings, but it is so very important for us to not take things for granted and remember that being good stewards of those things God has blessed us with is just as important.
A challenge for this Christmas season.
Go to:
www.kiva.org
www.unitedprosperity.org
www.worldrelief.org
www.worldvision.org
www.gfa.org
Make a donation, or purchase something that will truly bless those who need and do not have. Make this donation or purchase in the name of the person you would have purchased the gift for in the first place and let them know that for this Christmas, their gift is truly a blessing that can change lives and is not just another piece of clothing, appliance, game or other material item we can really do without.
Are you willing to take the challenge? Are you willing to help change lives?
