Christmas All Year Long - October

Twelve Months of Christmas 

Twelve months of spreading the light of Jesus' love.

Are you looking for a way to reach out to your neighbors or your community? 

Here is a fun idea! 

Every month I am going to send out a blog post with a new idea for that month.

Families can set their calendars to spread the cheer - all year!

After your year of giving you will be the one blessed.

You will have joy in your heart because

 it feels good to care for others.

October 
Time to clean out our closets. 
Gather up old toys and games and 
donate them to charities, 
daycares, churches, hospitals or Dr.'s offices. 

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; 

but the greatest of these is love.

September 
Grandparents month.
Find a grandma or grandpa that need some love and spend some time with them. Take a picnic lunch and spend time with them. Ask them about what it was like when they were young. Maybe they can show you some pictures. 
Be sure to tell them that Jesus loves them.

August 
Host a pet party! 
The goal is to gather supplies to take 
to the animal shelter. 
Pass out flyers to your neighborhood
 or friends telling them of the pet party day.
 Have them meet you at your house so you all can gather the animal shelter supplies, things like food, toys and blankets for those cold, hard floors then 
 pack the supplies into the van and 
caravan to the shelter together.
 Afterward have a cooler with some treats 
and meet at a park to play.

July
Whew! It's hot outside! 
In the summer it's often dangerous for some people to work in the heat. Maybe a grandma or grandpa. 
Pray and ask the Lord to show you who you can care for. You could pull some weeds or mow the lawn. 
Be sure to take a jug of ice water or cold lemonade.

June
Flag day! 
Go to the library and check out some books on the history of our flag, also read about 
the Christian flag. 
Color some little flags, using toothpicks stand them in cupcakes then take them to a neighbor or a shut in. The shut in would probably love to hear what you learned about the flag :) 

Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, overflowing with gratitude.

May 

It's time for May flowers! 

Decorate clay pots with paints and spray with a clear polyurethane finish. Fill the clay pots with potting soil and plant small flowers. 

Distribute them to teachers or group leaders with a thank you note.
