a christmas story

Meet Sydney Jane. This little girl won a big prize at our Kids Krusade back in October. And in the spirit of giving, she sold it and used the money to buy bikes for a few kids in our community through MCBC.

Here’s her story…

I wish we were all a little more like Sydney Jane. Her story was told this past weekend in part 1 of our new series Christmas Stories (I’ll tell ya more about the new series in tomorrows post).

Everybody is going to give someone something this year just like every other year, but what if this year you do something out of the norm and without expecting anything in return. What if you and your family found another family to bless. What if you got your kids involved and excited about helping someone else. What if your children got just as excited about giving gifts on Christmas as they did about getting gifts on Christmas. What if you spent less or close to nothing by making gifts with the whole family and take the money you saved and gave it away. 

Can you give BIG? Can you give SELFLESSLY? Can you change the way you do Christmas? What a beautiful Christmas story we could create for someone else that will last forever.

Check this out.

 

There are lots of ways you can give to those less fortunate. Here are a few to check out.

• Merry Christmas Baldwin County
• Advent Conspiracy
• TOMS Shoes
• Soles for Souls 

If you’ve already got plans to do some selfless giving this year, please share it, we’d all love to hear your ideas.
