Sherry Schumann’s idea has changed my mind about how I have done something similar but it failed! I had gone to much trouble and a bit of creativity to give a gift to a “fitting” charity in honor of each of my children and grandchildren. It seemed to go unappreciated or even noticed! This year, I will give the money to EACH of them, as Sherry suggested, and ask them to donate and explain why they chose that charity! It dawned on me that this would cause them to do research, pray, search their hearts and prayerfully, set a pattern for life! Thank you Sherry, and others who shared!

In reply to Ingar Clausen. Hi We are using the themedF “Giovingd” a referring how God has given us His son and life plus all we need in Jesus. We have given gifts to two organizations of kingdom outreach in honor of each person in our family. We include a pix of what that was in the envelope along with a written ‘blessing’ For each.

As always, Dear Friend, your thoughts are timely and helpful. We had our monthly G@P gathering last Sunday, and we talked about Christmas traditions that enhance our grandchildren’s understanding of the true meaning of Christmas. Some families read the Christmas story from one of the gospel accounts. Some do this and assign parts to all family members. I will share your thoughts with our Grandparents at prayer that they might add this to their prayerful efforts to establish traditions of blessing at Christmas.
In His Grip,
John

Thank you for this amazing suggestion, I have been praying about what I could do this year and this is an answer to prayers. I will do it and feel it’s going to be a great new tradition…God bless!

I like this. I did this below new this year & all 3 children (& families) said “we’re in”
Dear Family,
Dad and I are so blessed by each of you and by the gift you, and your precious children, are to us. We are so grateful to God for how He has blessed us, and continues to bless us. We want to “Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart” and share back some of those blessings in ways that are tangible to our grandkids.
Each year World Renew puts out a gift catalog. We have one in the mail that I will bring to San Diego but there is also a link below. I think the Meyers and the Diaz family already got this catalog, as they give to World Renew on a more regular basis.
This Christmas we would like to give a $50 seed money gift to each family–and we especially mean this for the kids to be very involved in this JOY of giving. If you match the $50 however you choose to do that– you gift or kids earn it, whatever– then we will match that $100 again. Then with that $200 we want your kids to think about what they want to buy out of the catalog for some people who need a gift far more than we do. But the gift will be that at Christmas Dad and I get to find out what you decided to purchase with the card they will send us.
Let us know if you accept this challenge . . . and we will let the fun of choosing happen.

CommentThanyou for a wonderful Idea. Even if charity expenditures may be given through the year, also here i Norway, particularily the GREAT Television Autumn Collection rally with 20 mill. USD are given in a smallcountry like ours, presenting the mentioned idea on our grandparents network, BESTEFORELDRENETT may hopefully have an impact on grandparents…and children.
May all your efforts in true Christmas offering and gifts be blessed by GOD!
