Still looking for the perfect Christmas gift for someone special? Well let me suggest this resource. World Vision has a 2005 Christmas Gift Catalog from which you can send meaningful gifts for the person who has everything. For only $150, you can provide a family with a sewing machine that will not only help in making clothes for themselves, it can also become a source of income. For $150 you can help a disabled child by giving the gift of mobility in the form of a wheelchair. $50 will give a family 4 chickens which will provide food for a few meals, or eggs for a much longer period of time. But what I'm absolutely amazed at is how $35 will help support young girls who have been rescued from sex trade.
Every Christmas we get bombarded by the materialism of our society and get so caught up in the busy-ness of the season that it becomes easy to forget about the less fortunate. Whether its through World Vision or another organization, or just a need that you see that no one else is taking care of, I hope you will stop to consider how you can help.
