Be A Blessing This Christmas-Let Your Light Shine

"Thank You"
to all of you, who not only reached out in His name for our project--- but who also took the time to link with Mary of Mary's Writing Nook and I. Thank you for allowing us to share in your story for our Be A Blessing this Christmas Let Your Light Shine.
I have met some new women and men. Pretty cool!
I have enjoyed reading about your ideas and I look forward to reading your post about your adventures in giving.
I will leave this post up through the weekend so that you will have a little extra time to get your post up or you can wait till Monday the 10th.
If you do not know how to use Mr Linky I would be glad to help. If you know how to copy and paste-you can do it.

We have been able to do a few things this season.
A man at our church loves to work with wood and this year came up with the idea to make cutting boards to sell for Christmas. The cool thing is that when you purchase one of the cutting boards he takes the money and buys Bibles for the Navajo Indians. How great is that?
It is in their language and they are not cheap. So this year we bought 4 boards and we will let the recipients know what was given by the purchase of their gift. Maybe they can remember to pray for the person who got the Bible each time they use their board. Sorry, I don't have a picture of these-they are already under the tree.

Next- we did the shoe boxes with Franklin Graham. We did two --both for girls Julia's age.
I pray that the little girls who got them are blessed and feel loved.Next, I wanted the staff at the nursing home where Granny is to know how much we appreciate their hard work. I baked mini loaves of pumpkin bread and wrapped them up.When I walked up to the nurses desk and asked how many people were on staff that day-- they were not very happy. Honestly, I could not understand the problem. And then.....I had a duh moment. I quickly said I was sorry and that I was not there to complain, but to wish them a Merry Christmas and thank them for their hard work. I wish you could have seen their faces. I thought one of them was going to cry. They said people just never did that. I was glad that they were so touched. Paw Paw was too. He was surprised that I was doing something for them.
I think it was good for him to see that I cared.
One last thing. If you are still looking for something to do I would love to encourage you to check out this post. You will literally touch someone on the other side of the world. And this idea is being sponsored by a teenage boy. See we did have some guys involved.
Here is Mr LinkyWell, that is it for now. I am looking forward to hearing your stories and hopefully seeing a few adventure pictures.
