This year we are getting better and are comforted knowing that he is Heaven:~) I have a big family but as time passes it seems that fewer and fewer of us make it home this time of year. Anywho, this year I got everyone photo albums of the kids year and gifts from Heifer International! I think they will LOVE it! Instead of one more "thing" they will have a gift of Love. My husband and I bought a goat, some rabbits, some chickens, some honey bees and some ducks, we felt that we got an awful lot for under $300 and to top it off, these gifts will expand and be a multitude of blessing for families in need. May this year Christmas be full of Love, kindness, forgiveness and understanding! :~) Merry Christmas everyone!Licihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262100711216509427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-77664474298247059692009-12-23T02:12:53.214-05:002009-12-23T02:12:53.214-05:00The coupon books are great and I bet that you &...The coupon books are great and I bet that you & Adam will get just as much Joy from them as the kids do! :~) We lost our dad (our rock) last year so Christmas was a bit difficult.

Hope that makes sense.<br /><br />Aimee,<br />I love your post. We have always taught out children about volunteerism and have for 12 years or so worked on the 3rd Monday at the men's shelter, as a family, preparing dinner and eating with the men as a family. Fond memories were made. I ma happy that as adults they still volunteer regularly, as do I (i am a former grant writer and volunteer my services with a DV nonprofit group.) Every year we adopt a family--this year we adopted two families we know who have been hit hard by layoffs and the recession. <br /><br />Thank you for getting the word out about sharing and giving. It's all good. It sounds like this young girl has some amazing parents who taught her about God's gift to us and how important it is that we give back.<br /><br />Blessings, MariCareGiving Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326854215102017169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-5365306381728658532009-12-22T15:52:53.273-05:002009-12-22T15:52:53.273-05:00The coupon book is a fabulous idea!

He was hit by a drunk driver, and died. We did help her and her daughter out this Christmas season - and it felt great to do so! Not only to help, but to help and not expect anything in return! I know what we did to help won't take away the pain of being without her husband this year, but it did help, even if just a little bit. And that does feel good!TJOsMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245131538147084834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-31201954067256257982009-12-22T14:41:42.906-05:002009-12-22T14:41:42.906-05:00Me and a group at work sponsered a family one year...Me and a group at work sponsered a family one year at Christmas, and it was so great to be able to do that!!! Reading your post about getting the kids soooo much for Christmas at their young age is exactly what I have done in the past, and even this year. I am guilty. However, I will promise to make a "change" in the coming year...starting with donating to Katya's page - what an amazing little girl!<br />Thanks Aimee!!!TJOsMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15245131538147084834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345363153684300038.post-63865576879876306142009-12-22T14:40:08.876-05:002009-12-22T14:40:08.876-05:00I have a question what chapter and verse in the bi...I have a question what chapter and verse in the bible does it say that God was born on Christams.
