Gifts that Give...

 
 
It's the "Most Wonderful Time of Year"!!!
 
 Among the hustle and bustle of decorating, all day shopping, midnight-shopping, deal-snagging, truffle-making, cookie-baking, santa-sleighing, reindeer-playing, popcorn-stringing, carol-singing, must-do's, must-go's and must-HAVE's...
 
There are a few treasures that I have come across that help celebrate God's love throughout the season and beyond.  While my kids love all things Lego, Batman, Hello Kitty and My Little Pony (and I do too:) there a couple of things that I am ecspecially excited for them to be receiving this year...

Veggie Tales 'All About Me' book...a place to record all about her life and faith, including her favorite things, and even a special spot for her prayers...can't wait to fill it out together!!!
 


Armor of God for my little warrior...because what child doesn't like to dress - up and what better way to teach than during play-time???!!!
 
 
and my ALL-TIME FAVORITE...
 
Hearts4hearts...These dolls represent girls from different countries, and each one comes with accessories and a story about who they are and how they use what they have to reach out to their communities and share love...even better, the manufactuer is partnered with WorldVision and a fraction of money from purchases will help real children with real needs.

...and lastly, this one is for the family.  After a conversation with a dear friend about giving, I remembered seeing this book last year and look forward to seeing what kinds of ideas are in store...
 
 
 
 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
