...the kids are not real happy with our plan for this year. No gifts under the tree; just stuffed stockings. We'll take them shopping for clothes after Christmas when the sales are huge.
What's the big deal or idea?
We have everything we need. The rest are just wants. So Darla and I don't want to spoil them with more wants being met. We have enough...stuff.
So, we are asking everyone to pool their money they were going to use for buying others gifts and we are going to send it all to International Justice Mission [ijm.org] to support rescuing girls from sex slavery and people from violent oppression all over the globe. It is a small way we can show love, mercy and compassion to the less fortunate. We hope that in the future one or more of our children will pursue a life of serving in a global compassion ministry like IJM.
What are you giving for Christmas?
