(1 Cor 13:13 NKJV) And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Christmas is fast approaching and it’s around this time when people get stressed out over how much to spend on gifts. Somehow the focus is put on gifts and taken off of LOVE.
Giving gifts at Christmas is fun and I think it’s great! But there are other ways to show our love if things are tight for us financially.
Don’t go in debt over Christmas. This is a holiday to celebrate and enjoy.Be creative and have fun with it. Showing that you love someone and that you really care for them can be done in many ways and it doesn’t have to take a lot of money… so no more stressing.
If you have a computer you can design little gift certificates to hand out with little services on them that you could offer. You could bake cookies or fudge and put then in cute little tins with little bows on them. People love treats!!
Arts and crafts are a lot of fun too and people love getting homemade gifts. Get some friends and family together and have a good time, sharing stories and testimonies while being creative, etc.
Pray about it and let God lead you, He loves to help us be creative and unique and He knows the heart of the people we’re giving to better then we do.
Have fun this Christmas…Let God’s love shine through you!!
