A Christmas Reminder....

I was at Belk yesterday looking for the "perfect" Christmas dress for Lexi to have her picture made in for our annual Christmas card and the thought came to me, "what about all those kids that will wake up on Christmas morning with nothing to open. Now our family is by no means "well off", but Chris and I have both been blessed with jobs and very generous families and Lexi has never went without, thankfully. But what if something ever happened and we lost our jobs and our kids had to do without. Believe it or not that could happen to ANYBODY. So this year as we are all rushing around trying to find the perfect gift or the perfect outfit for some holiday fuction, lets remember all the kids out there that need a warm winter coat or would treasure just one toy under the tree. I have signed our family up for an angel tree child and I will cut about $100 off my Christmas budget to buy for a 9 year old little girl. But regardless, if you do an agel tree, an adaopt a family, or the MANY other charity options out there, just remember to do something! $100 sounds like a lot when we are having to turn loose of it, but add upp the toys in your kid's toy box and you will get to $100 pretty darn quick! I know times are hard for everyone right now, but think of how mch God has given and it is our duty as his children to give back to those less fortunate! It breaks my heart ot think of one single child not having a Christmas this year!
