Wonderful idea! I am saving for next Christmas. We give to many in our church, friends and widows, as well as family and this would bring even more meaning to Christmas. I’ve enjoyed giving family, friends and our pastor and his wife the advent balls from https://shop.everthinehome.com/collections/christmas

I love this creative idea Deb! It so important to remember why we give and these themes help you do exactly that. I’m your neighbor at #momentsofhope today. Thank you Melanie for hosting this great series 🙂

It has helped so much, Melinda. I’m less stressed and that helps me keep my focus on Jesus. A blessings all around. Thanks so much!

In reply to Crystal Twaddell. I'm so glad you like it, Crystal. It sounds like you've done something very similar. I especially like the ornament idea. So many memories on your tree. I love it! Thanks and blessings to you!

Deb, this is wonderful! My kids are all college age, and each year since they were born, we have bought each 3 gifts, and then we also gave each 1 ornament to symbolize a specific blessing in their life for that year. Once they are married, we will give each their ornaments. Our tree has been beautifully decorated with blessings through the years. I love taking your idea for when we have grandchildren!

Such simple but, oh so meaningful ways to give from the heart in celebration of God’s wondrous gift to us in Jesus. That would take away so much stress from what should be a season of joy! Thank you, Deb!
