New Christmas Tradition
I honestly debated whether or not to share this, but I decided to blog it because I hope it inspires some others to follow suit. Our family is starting a new Christmas tradition this year. We feel so blessed and we don't want to keep the blessing to ourselves so we're going to bless someone this Christmas in a way that they can't figure out who gave them the gift. We've been talking about it with our kids and really praying that God would guide us. We've finally figured out who we're going to bless and how we're going to bless them. And I can't even explain how exciting and joyful it is.
This new tradition had added a new dimension to Christmas!

Since I am in Oregon I figure there's no chance of my family being the ones you're going to bless.

There is no better act of giving than one that you get no credit for and that is completely selfless.
I just heard a story on the news about one person paying for someone else's Starbuck in the drive-thru which lead to a domino effect and the next followed the suit...it went on and on...giving is contagious.
Good reminder Mark.
My family has done this before and it is such a great reminder of what Christmas is really about. I think you will find it addicting, and it will become something you all look forward to doing more of, and not just at Christmas...
We are also doing this. The feeling is incredible--and no one knowing is even better. I really hope they don't find out! (shhhh....don't tell anyone!)
This is great. We've got a similar idea going around our church Northview Christian Life in Carmel, IN: http://www.GiveUpOne.com
