Gifts of Compassion

      If you are anything like me there always seems to be that one last minute gift that you still need to buy right before Christmas. Typically it is for that one person who is the hardest to buy for. You have put it off and are still stuck with an idea with just days left. What to do?


      Allow me to offer a suggestion- Why not take a look at the Gifts of Compassion catalog. This unique Christmas catalog offers a variety of gifts that will meet real needs and can really make a difference. After all, isn't that what Christmas is truly about, making a difference? God sent His son to save us and make a difference in our lives. That is the Christmas Story. 


       How it works is very easy. Follow the link and take a look at the gifts. They range in price from $5.00 to $325.00. They range in variety from bibles to livestock to playgrounds. All of the gifts meet real needs and are life changing. Choose a gift in honor of "that hard to buy for person". Then once the purchase is complete you can choose from a variety of greeting cards that can be sent to your honoree. These cards can be mailed to them, printed out and given to them or even included in an email. How simple is that? It sure beats fighting the crowds in a mall. The best part of this is that it gets others involved in the ministry of Compassion. Who knows what seeds can be planted when you start with a gift like this? 


        This year my wife and I decided to start a new family tradition by buying a gift on behalf of our family. This June we traveled to Honduras to see our sponsored children. One of them, Jorge, has a pet chicken. Therefore we decided our gift should be a chicken. We will purchase it and then take the greeting card and hang it on our Christmas tree as a reminder. We will continue this each year. 


         This Christmas season whether you need a gift, want to start a tradition or just want to pass the word along about this opportunity I encourage you to visit the link and begin to make a difference.
