It's our 9th year of 25 Days of Christmas Kindness. Nine years of doing one kind act each day from December 1-25. Nine years of feeling the joy of helping another person; nine years of failing miserably, at times. Nine years of trying to change our children's hearts from focusing on "me, me, me"—only to realize that we ourselves are just as much in need of a heart change.
Each year has been a new adventure, but this year, we're trying something new.
We're creating a 25 Days of Kindness group in Facebook. Why should you join?
Because we'll be sharing ideas every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout December, hosting Facebook lives and offering giveaways!
It'll be a positive place to share some Christmas cheer and we'd love for you to join us!
Click here to request to join the group.
We'll also occasionally post on our social media platforms (Facebook or Instagram).
Looking for ideas? Here's are some of the things we've done over the years, complete with handy photos and links: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018.
All too often, we see hard things in the world and we feel paralyzed, like the problem is simply too big or that our small efforts won’t amount to anything. But as a mom, I want to show my kids that that’s not true, that kindness matters and that we can feel empowered to do something or to help others. This Christmas season, that's my prayer for you, too—that you feel empowered and loved by a God who sees and knows you, and who wants to make his love and kindness known to the world, too—through you.
Are you looking for more resources? Have you checked out our books?
We've written two kindness devotionals, The One Year Daily Acts of Kindness and 100 Days of Kindness. They tell the story of how our families embarked on a one-year journey of kindness, and include our successes, failures, and the encouragement you need as a family to incorporate kindness into your own life.Julie, Kendra, and Kristin
