Christmas is coming!

Today's surprise office visit was one of our clients who brought gifts for the next several adoptive families in honor of the child whose placement in their home fell through. My eyes welled with tears when she explained they wanted to do something in honor of the child they expected to have in their home this Christmas. This act of generosity is exactly what God calls us to. His unmerited gift of the Christ child was different than expected, and full of grace for people who were planning for their Savior King to show up under very different circumstances. 

In this season of giving, I'm reminded of the many biblical examples of giving - gifts from the lavish treasures presented by the Magi to the sacrifice of the woman who gave all she had. Each sacrificial gift has value to Christ. When we think about 0ur motivation in gift giving this Christmas, let our focus be generous giving as God gave to us and think less of what we might receive. 

...Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.
Mark 12:43-44
As you look for ways to bless others with gifts this year, there are many adoption-centered gifts that may be the perfect gift for your family or friends. This hope bracelet by our local partner, Amy Coreen Jewelry, is designed with all profits going to the work of Christian Adoption Services. Get one for a woman waiting to grow her family through adoption, for your child's birth mother, or anyone who can use some encouragement of our HOPE in Christ.
