More importantly, what’s Christmas without Jesus? It’s void. Pointless. That’s one reason why I am determined as a woman of faith to make sure Christ is the focal point of our family Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n
So one of the fun things I do with the grandkids each Christmas is taking them shopping … for others. We collect names off of a giving tree and shop for the person we’ve picked. We also make sure that each one of them receives something from my husband and me from the World Vision Gift Catalog<\/a>. It’s important that children learn the joy of giving, and these are small ways that I’ve helped instill that in them.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”You see, generosity isn’t something that comes naturally. It’s taught by example!” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1478199709820{padding-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][vc_column_text]My parents weren’t wealthy people. Having lived through the Depression era, they were keenly aware of how fortunate they were to live and work in a free society. They never forgot those who had less. I learned generosity from them and am now striving to open my children’s and grandchildren’s hearts and minds to those who have far less.<\/span><\/p>\n
And what do I get out of it? I am humbled by the thoughtfulness of my grandkids. The way they search out the best buys. The way they stretch those dollars as far as they can. These are memories that are dear to my heart and encouraging to my faith!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1478127562748{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][widget id=”a2a_share_save_widget-2″][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-xs” css=”.vc_custom_1476988797142{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_text_separator size=”h3″ title=”More Fun Recipes for Christmas” color=”wv-dark-grey”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm”][vc_text_separator size=”h3″ title=”More Fun Recipes” color=”wv-dark-grey” css=”.vc_custom_1477005032076{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”5\/6″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”7713″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_custom_heading text=”How to put on a family Christmas play: Real “baby Jesus” not included” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldvision.org%2Frecipes-dream-christmas%2Fhow-to-family-christmas-play|||”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1478027552574{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”]As in our daily life, Christ lives in us, around us, and through us.
