We drove back late at night from TH to make sure we were able to attend the church services on Christmas Eve. We have really enjoyed the series the past couple of weeks that led up to the evening service. The church lobby had a live nativity scene, including the live stock. Each family decorated a gift box for the children to present to the baby Jesus. Inside was our Christmas offering for the holiday season. Of the five organizations presented throughout the holiday series, Thinking Outside the Box, we chose to support the Nicaragua Resource Network. Gifts were made in the names of our parents.

In addition to thinking outside of the box this year, I'd like the thank the kiddos in the above picture for supporting NRN schools this holiday season. In lieu of teacher gifts this year we sent 4 boxes of school supplies and educational materials to 2 different schools in Nicaragua.

What a wonderful way to pass on the spirit of giving for the Holidays and the true meaning of Christmas!
