When you're so fortunate you can't think of anything to put on your Christmas wish list, what better gift than to give to those less fortunate than us. Through the Inn of the Good Shepherd's Adopt a Family program we are able to provide a happier holiday for a mother and her three children and it feels good to get grounded and reminded about what this time of year means for us.
This year, on my husband's side of the family, we decided to give rather than to receive. We were able to choose the size of the family we are financially capable of helping and were then matched up and sent a detailed list that included the age and sex of the children, their Christmas wish list and clothing sizes.
Last night we went shopping for the family and it was so much fun picking out great toys and warm clothes and wrapping paper and bows. It's given me a real sense of excitement to know that we're helping to make the holidays a little brighter for a few others.
