This really hit home for me today. I love our church and we are so blessed my good teachings and also wonderful children's ministries. Through my journey as a parent I have found that there is no real reason to recreate wheels. So I love to join the church in their missions and this allows for my children to see the community effect on a much larger scale. A couple ideas is participating in a food bank. One afternoon I was at the end of my rope. I remember that our church was doing a food drive. So I popped them all in the car and we went to the dollar store. Our church was also doing shoe boxes. We cleared a total of $40 for food and toys. The next Sunday we dropped of supplies and the following week this was posted on instagram. We also have the availability to tour the food bank. I added to the shoe box project by having us all watch the video from the Samaritan's Purse website. I felt God helped me up in a time of need by serving others with my children instead of screaming at them.
This really is an extension to Chapter 8-
I need to bring more of a Christ focus to Christmas. I loved the idea of the birthday cake for Jesus and also the nativity scavenger hunt. We have been blessed to be able to sponsor a child for $20 a month and the rewards have been ten fold.
