Christmas Gifts-An Alternative Choice
Christmas is coming! What a wonderful time of year where we all act our best and try to be a bit nicer. It is also a great time of year to think about your favorite charities as part of your gift giving. The idea of alternative gift giving is not new. Families have been practicing for as long as I have been around and most likely before. I think Heifer International was one of the first to formalize the idea into a cataloge. Some churches even do special alternative Christmas gift events so you can find the charity you want to support. It is a wonderful idea to give money to help others as a way to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Like we actually get the overall idea of what his time on earth was about. I want to encourage everyone to consider doing at least one alternative Christmas gift this year. Even if that donation is not to the ministry I work with. There are a lot of them. Here are some good ones you may want to consider: Heifer International:
