Giving is Easy at Christmas!

I love sharing encouragement!!! I think it is one of God's gifts to me! This is one reason I enjoy giving these God Stories booklets away to people I know as well as perfect strangers! You never know what someone is going through and how your encouragement and kindness can touch a life! 


This Christmas I had an idea. Since my small group from church was getting together for a Christmas cookie exchange I wanted to encourage them too! I made Christmas goodie bags and placed inside a God Stories booklet, a Little Debbie Christmas cake and some other Christmas chocolate treats. Wrapped up with a green or red bow, they looked quite festive!! I instructed my group that these were a gift to them but if they knew a friend or colleague who needed some encouragement they were free to give them away! One said she would read it first, then give it away!


I am also planning on taking these Christmas goodie bags to a friend who is an elementary school principal. We made enough for the whole staff, 83!!! I can't wait to deliver them next week!  I keep a couple in my purse too. If I meet someone while running errands or just to say thank you, here's a gift for you! Merry Christmas!!! Who will you encourage with a God Story this Christmas? 


In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Acts 20:35
