SO here's what I am going to do. I am going to find one way everyday to give something of myself that I wouldn't normally give at Christmas. These ideas include volunteer to watch someone's children while they go Christmas shopping, making something (bread, cookies, dinner, etc.) and taking it to someone, getting out of the house and visiting others, any kind acts that the Lord is willing to put into my head as I pray everyday to do an act of kindness that is meaningful to someone. I hope that this will make my Holidays more merry and bright this year. I will try and keep you updated as to how it goes although I won't promise daily updates. Please accept the challenge to do this yourselves and let's see how much Christmas cheer we can spread this year! If you do please let me know how it impacts your life! Here's wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
Extraordinary: because the Lord blesses me daily. Ordinary: because I am just an average every day woman.

The Christmas Spirit
Last year I experienced the hardest Christmas in my life so far. This year I have every intention to make things different. That is why I am going to start 24 days of Christmas gifts. I have done the 12 days of Christmas and really enjoyed that but often that costs money. This year I am going to do a gift everyday of December up until Christmas. I REALLY hope this helps me get the real spirit of Christmas. I have faith that it will.
