As I've been learning in my faith, I've especially wanted to pass that on to my children. The hunger, the passion, and most importantly the relationship with Christ. For Christmas I wanted the girls to see what Christmas was truly about. I've never been great about sharing my faith with others, but I've also learned that while it is so important to share our faith, there are other ways to show God's love for us and through that hopefully open up opportunities to share. I'm not really sure how I ran across this blog...I think I saw it on facebook from another mom. This blog (Lil' Light O' Mine) was and is amazing! The idea is to do random acts of kindness for other people. The blog provides everything! Ideas of what to do, tags to attach, and even a planning schedule!! I loved this idea and I thought it would be a great way for Caroline to see, one, what joy you can get from giving to others, and two, some different ways to show God's love to others. Living behind a Publix, we go there a lot, and many of the people in there recognize us because we are frequent visitors. So we loaded up our candy canes and headed into Publix to share some "thank yous" with the people who help us out on a weekly basis. It was so much fun! Caroline really got into it! We hit every person in Publix! The sweet ladies at the deli counter cried when we gave her one because she was so touched! It was really a great time!! After Publix, we took cookies to the police station and the fire station, and we finished up the trip with a candy cane stop at the post office and the library. It's definitely an tradition that I want to do annually and maybe even a few times a year. Because I found it later in the year, I wasn't able to plan as much as I would have liked, but next year, we will be prepared!!
