Gift Giving Philosophy: Want, Need, Play With, Read...and Give!

I came across THIS Christmas gift giving philosophy and thought it was worth mentioning.  More and more, year after year, we are realizing how unnecessary it is to accumulate stuff when there are so many folks in need in our communities and around the world.  And really, do any of us need more "stuff?"

I was thinking.  Maybe we buy a few less gifts this year and try gifting with this philosophy in mind.

Wouldn't that be more than enough for a joyful and thoughtful Christmas morning?
Spending time with my family will surely be the best of my Christmas day for sure.

Maybe we could take what we would have spent on other gifts, and instead...

Buy a goat!

 

And, a couple chickens to boot!

   

And, let's get serious for a minute.

How about care for orphans?

Send an orphan to school?

Provide lifesaving food and care?

We are given so much.  Can't we then give of ourselves even more?!  I encourage you!

Just a thought!
