We will not be adopting a family this
year for Christmas. Instead we will be
participating in God’s Gift. God’s Gift
is a program I have adopted and tweaked from my church. Megan and I are taking our tithe and giving
every FCA student 5 dollars to bless someone in need. You are essentially taking God’s money and
using it to bless someone in need. This
is not my money, this is God’s money. It is up to you to decide who/how you
are going to bless someone in need. You
can take God’s 5 dollar bill and combined in with your own money, or another
family member, or another member of FCA.
It’s completely up to you. You can
do almost anything with the 5 dollars.
You can bless someone all at once, or separate the money in several
blessings. Remember, this is God’s
money. Some examples of what you can do: buy
food for a homeless person, buy any kind of warm clothing for a person in need,
buy a gift for a child in need, some churches have Christmas trees with gift
needs attached to the tree; buy one and give that gift. You can take God’s 5 dollars and buy cooking
supplies and bake a cake for a neighbor.
Buy coffee for a neighbor. Take a
meal over to a friend. Use the money to
help a neighbor fix something. Anything
and everything goes, as long as there is a need to bless someone. Please try not to buy something for your
family unless there is a tremendous need for that person. Please feel free to remind the person
you are blessing how much God has blessed you and that God loves them. When you are finished with God’s Gift I want
to hear about it. Every person will HAVE
to write, or type me a letter telling me how they used God’s money to bless
others. I will be expecting this letter
when we get back from Christmas break.
We are going to read them out loud the week we get back. Have a great time blessing
others. Get in the Christmas spirit and
remember your Saviors birth.
