Dear AC,
Our family chose not to exchange gifts for adults this year. Instead we signed up to serve a meal on Christmas Eve day at a rescue mission. We took the grandchildren along and they served bottles of water while we dished up the meal.
I was satisfied that although the task we did was nothing big, we made a conscious choice to give instead of receive. Hopefully it pleased the Lord and sent a message to the young ones about the way Christ wants us to live each and every day.
