World Vision: Unwrap The True Spirit of Christmas

I posted a short story about World Vision and its vision here few months ago. Thinking of giving what to who is really drives me crazy and still cannot figure out who need what. Too many things that we can find at stores, many people have been rushing to the stores to get things that they “think” that their family “might need.”

Yet, many people, especially children, in all over the world are in need of water, food, shelter, blankets, and even more their parents to find something to make money so they can survive. These parents need financial support to start a small business, instead of depending on some other unsure resources, these parents need physical and spiritual supports. But, both parents and children do not know where they can find the help that they need, they do not know where to get whatever they need to survive, and they inly know that they are hopeless, no one care. BUT GOD knows. He cares about these people. He can provide ANYTHING that they need. He is the only one who knows every single thing that we need and provide it for us, also He is the only one who can provide for these people too.

The question is how do they know what God is the provider? how can they hear about this Good News that they have hope in Christ? where they can find help? what is our part in this?

The answer is you can only find in the Bible, the true Word of God:

“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,tit would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matt 18:5-6)

These verses said by Jesus himself. Children are important and precious before God (also see in Mark 10:14-16).

Family Tradition #1: Christmas Tree

Passing down family tradition to our next generation is the best way to teach them their family culture and also give them the special moment to remember. One of our family traditions that we would like to pass it down to our daughter, Abigail, is the moment of joy when we all get together and decorate the Christmas Tree.

This is so priceless and unforgettable moment ever for Christmas time this year. It was Abigail’s first time helping us decorating the tree at her great-grandmother’s house. She was TOO EXCITED to help and every ornaments that she liked she put them on the tree (and the rest of them she played with them on the floor).

This one is a keepsake for sure! I took the picture with my iPhone 3GS, use the Best Camera App (you can find the app at Apple Apps Store) and edited it. Then the scrapbook layout, I made with My Memories Suite v.3. All the paper, elements, journaling tag, and frame are from My Memories Collections. The font I used for the journaling is Adler, you can download it here for FREE.

What is your family tradition?
