Years ago, when our children were very young, a sw Years ago, when our children were very young, a sweet widow on our city block told me a statement I’ve never forgotten. She said that Christmas is an excuse to make someone else’s life better. This might look like adopting a family who deals with food insecurity or helping your church provide gifts for the children of people who are incarcerated. However, there are many actions we can take on a smaller scale that will also help to spread some Christmas kindness. Here are some ideas our family has tried over the years:⠀ ⠀ * Take hot cocoa to the Salvation Army bellringers around town.⠀ ⠀ * Tip the worker assigned to corral all the grocery carts in the parking lot a $10 or $20 bill. Thank them for their hard work and tell them to treat themselves to something when their shift ends.⠀ ⠀ * Scrape off vehicle windshields in the grocery store parking lot on a snowy day.⠀ ⠀ * Take your family to a local nursing home or assisted living facility and make snowmen outside the residents’ windows. Before doing so, swing by your local Goodwill store to purchase scarves, hats, mittens, etc… for the snowmen. Also take along some sticks for their arms, large black buttons for their faces, and carrots for their noses.⠀ ⠀ * Place a basket on your front porch full of granola bars or individual bags of salty treats for the package delivery person. Be sure to write a note telling them to help themselves and thanking them for their hard work at the holidays.⠀ ⠀ * Hand a gift card to a local salon to your favorite barista when they make your gingerbread latte this week. Tell them to treat themselves to a service at the salon and thank them for making your coffee for them all year long.
Welcome to day 5 of 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways Welcome to day 5 of 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways! 🎉🎉🎉 Today’s guest is @handstolearn and they are giving away a $30 eGift Card to their shop! ❤️⠀ ⠀ 🎄Hands to Learn creates beautiful and meaningful art to fill our homes with reminders of the Gospel, call Scripture to mind, and turn our eyes to the Lord. Angel, the artist, uses watercolor, hand lettering, and graphic design to illustrate Gospel truths and bring encouragement to the Christian walk. In Deuteronomy 6, God tells His people to surround themselves with His Word: to write it on their hearts, teach it to their children, to think of it when they sit, stand, lie down, and walk, and to write it on their door frames and gates. God calls us to literally keep His Word in front of us at all times because we are so prone to forget. The heart behind Hands to Learn is to provide a way to do that, beautifully - all by His grace, and for His glory. ✝️⠀ ⠀ 🎄 To enter the giveaway make sure you are following both @karenehman and @handstolearn. Then simply leave a comment on the post tagging a friend (or two or as many as you’d like!) to tell them about the giveaway as well. You will get one entry for each person you tag.

And after over 10 years, she still loves trying to create new pieces. ⠀ ⠀ 🎄 To enter the giveaway make sure you are following me (@karenehman) and find Lisa on Etsy at PotteryCreationsLRM and give her shop a “❤️” Then simply leave a comment on this post tagging a friend (or two or as many as you’d like!) to tell them about the giveaway as well.
