Today's Activity - Learn About the Joy of Giving
Adopt a family in your church who is struggling
financially and make simple stockings or buy small gift bags.
Take your children to shop for the family members and fill
the stockings with items like candy, packages of chips, gum,
mittens, toiletry items, socks, or a music CD.
You may also choose to donate to a shelter or a transition
house. Gifts for older children and teens are always in short
supply. Some appropriate items include backpacks, blank journals,
flashlights, sleeping bags, movie passes, art supplies, gift
certificates to a music store, fast food coupons, board games,
an inexpensive watch, a walkman, make-up kits, hair care products,
baseball caps, earrings, sewing kits, school supplies, gift
certificates to a hair salon, toiletries, flannel shirts,
a prepaid phone card, tube socks, gloves, long johns, and
playing cards.
