It's time for the season of giving.
Shopping.
Parking.
Sales.
Bills.
Gift Cards.
Crazy Shoppers.
Black Friday.
Stress.


But! What if we
Spent Less?
Gave more?
Spent time with the ones we love?

Gave clean water to those that need it?

The United States of America spends 450 billion dollars on christmas.
It would only cost 10 Billion dollars to give the world clean water.

So what happens if instead we:
Baked cookies
Drew pictures
Read books with each other
Spent TIME with each other


instead of
buying the toy they will break
the sweater they never wear
the gift card they lost
shopping for hours


and gave clean water to those who need it?

I've seen this before as a video, in chapel I think. Really interesting, so true. I'm noticing this year that it's not about what I want, and I'm really wondering what I need.

Yeah, with my birthday being tomorrow, my father asked me what I needed.
I thought for a few minutes before saying: "I dont need anything that I know of."
