Something Significant for Christmas

Since we already did a toy drive this month we decided we would do something different instead of the Angel Trees for the kids to give at Christmas. We want the boys to know how blessed they are to get to live where they live. That around the world there are kids who don't even have water or food to eat, let alone any toys. Every year our church puts out a catalog called Something Significant for Christmas. In it are ways to give money to help mission groups and the needy all over the world. Tyler, our animal lover, wants to give baby chicks and goats for families so they can raise them  and then use the eggs and milk for money.  Carter wants to buy drinking water for a children for a whole year so that they can drink cold water like he loves to . We decided Nolan would give the gift of a hospital delivery for a mom in India. The boys are very excited about this. I am a little worried that since they aren't doing anything tangible (like actually handing out the gift) they wouldn't get it as much, but I think they do. I love that they each picked out something important to them as well.
