Give This Christmas Away

We are two weeks away from Christmas...stores are having sales, shopping carts are full and people are trying to make sure they get everything on their list.

But what about those in need? The ones that will not have a tree with a bottom filled with presents? The lonely that have no one to share the holidays with?

As a family, over the past few years we have tried to help out who we can. I have been truly inspired this season by Matthew West and his new single "Give This Christmas Away" , a song that was inspired the Samaritans Purse program "Operation Christmas Child". Matthew West has taken it to the next level by writing the book "101 Simple and Thoughtful Ways to Give This Christmas Away"

This is not a list of high cost purchase suggestions, but simple things that everyone can do. Think about the impact we could all make but doing small acts of kindness, not just during Christmas but year round.

I encourage you to join me in the quest to make this season better for others, one thoughtful act at a time.
