Giving Thanks....and Sharing from our Bounty. (TSMSS + Day 27 of Giving)

I'm at the computer after spending three beautiful days with the family
(I love the joy that surrounds this season)and ....all that food! ((Whew!))

Thank You Lord, I'm so grateful for it all.



But even amidst the laughter, chow downs and fun, we kept reminding ourselves not to forget those in need....those not as fortunate as us
and now as we're just 3 days away from finishing the the 30 Day Giving Challenge, I want to encourage you to dig into the Bounty the Lord has blessed you with financially and GIVE as if you were giving to the Lord.

Here are a few wonderful GIVING opportunities.

1. Put a Smile on a Child's face this Christmas with TOYS FOR TOTS

The U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program collects new, unwrapped toys from various 'drop off points' and distributes those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in your local community. You can also donate money to help buy toys.


2. Wishes CAN come true through the MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION

The Foundation helps fulfill a special wish of a child with a life threatening medical condition. The wish may be a small as desiring a toy or as special as being able to take a trip to Disney World. Read more about the Mission here and help fulfill a little child's wish with a monetary donation, by volunteering time/talents, frequent flyer miles or by donating things you may have but don't need, that are on the 'Urgent Need' list of the Foundation.


3. Become an ABC Angel for ABANDONED BABIES AND CHILDREN

I can't understand how any parent can do this and it breaks my heart each time I read about an abandoned child. It's even more heart wrenching to read that every day in Kenya, in every 10 minutes a baby is abandoned or orphaned because of violence, poverty or epidemics.
The 'Abandoned Babies and Children' Program is an extension of Feed The Child that helps these little ones with critical medical care and provide them with a home, food, clothing and lots of love. You can help support this worthy cause with your financial support.


3. Buy an ornament and bless an orphan with ORNAMENTS 4 ORPHANS

I pray the Lord may minister to your heart this Christmas season and lead you to help in the areas you can.
DON'T hold back because you think your gift is too small.
Every cent DOES count. That's right! All those tiny drops DO add up to make a mighty ocean.
