in case you have that person that you just can't find the perfect gift for.
or in case you want your money to do more than just be another gift.
first, the adventure project.
solid company. solid people running it. check them out.
{stole this picture from their website}
second, world vision.
they have an amazing catalog that you can order anything from a soccer ball to a group of 28 farm animals to be given to those that need them.
this is what we use for the kids to pick their "gifts for Jesus" and it has easily become one of the most special parts of our Christmas season.
i didn't take pictures this year. but the kids picked their gifts the other night. and it was very interesting. last year there were lots of "toys" and "soccer balls". this year? mostly clean water and chickens and FOOD. i think 2011 has done a work in EACH of our hearts!!!
and to have lincoln sitting there with me? picking what to send to someone that HE WAS a mere 5 months ago? just about too much. too much.
give.
it will change your heart.
and the lives of others!

Okay, so these were GREAT ideas, but your mom is blubbering her eyes out...truly sobbing, reading the words "Lincoln....choosing his". Oh my. You've given those boys LIFE.

We gave similar gifts through Compassion this year....thanks for a great idea. I can't wait until Finley can understand "giving gifts to Jesus" a little better and help us pick them out!
