You can create something that last forever in the heart!
The most precious gift ever received by my Dad was a painted Ocean sea shell from my sister when she was 7 years old. More than 20 years later we saw he kept it on a desk in a corner room. We often would see him holding it at night when he thought he was alone. The little shell still has the inscription she wrote in crayon “To the greatest daddy in the world” You are a special creation by the creator. We can all sing , write or draw.
One uneducated man I know with a heart of gold read a letter he wrote at a wedding. It had bad english grammar and it sounded like a 5 year old wrote it, this over 40 year old man brought the bride to tears it was such an innocent letter from the heart.
You are a special creation from the creator of love. Forget comparing yourself to others and just write, draw, sing, paint or build something this Christmas. There is an energy in this kind of gift that lasts a lifetime. The latest store gift will be quickly forgetten, the handmade gift will never be forgetten.
If your income is low, think of it as the creator of the universe calling you to creator through him. Christmas help for low income families starts with YOU, if your imcome is low create! even if it is not low create!
Teenagers who are out of balance usually hate homemade gifts but as a life coach I can tell you that later on they come to treasure these gifts more than any electronic or store item. You are wonderfully made..don’t think about it just create…just let the Source of all (LOVE) run through you. regardless of what it looks like it will be a masterpiece and always remembered!
Stumble It!

First off, thank you for your comments. I believe you are blessed in many ways.
1. You have a working husband, many women have NO husband and stand alone
2. I have seen really sick and poor kids who have no shoes or food. I have seen children crying in foster care waiting to be adopted. Your kids have sometime many kids do not have PARENTS. Your kids are blessed.
3. Christmas is not about gifts and toys. It is about love..the love of the ultimate Source to humans. When your kids are older all they will care about is if mom and daddy loved them.
4.Explain to your children that Christmas means the God of love sent his son in love, then let your kids know we do not have a lot of money but we do have love.
5. Christmas is not about the newest toy..clothes..diamonds..xbox..the sooner your children learn this the better

Thank you so much becouse you share our story and for you support!
God desires us to be looking forward to His return though. The last command God gave us was to pray for His return. We will be united with Him and He will wipe away every tear from our eyes. Ultimately the love of God is what motivates us to love the children too. If we were to take God out of the picture, it would just be a humanistic effort, but it’s based on God. The first command is to love the Lord our God and the second one is to love our neighbour and it is in that order.
Jesus did say that the poor will always be with us. In other words, there will always be that responsibility. I get from this that there will never be a time before the Lord’s coming that we will conclude that we’re done. Remember poverty isn’t just the physical poverty, but also the spiritual poverty.
Thank you for your heart! A lot of kids are without help here and becouse thats my life I LOVE TO HELP , i willdo all my best for them thats me i cant live just for my self becouse i believe that this life is so short and i wish to do something more for others . Thats things are the beauty and shineof life! I thank so much again and have one blessed life my friend! LORD is always with us! with respect Violetya
