Last year, Hunter and I, along with some friends and family, decided to selflessly spend our Christmas morning delivering desserts and cookies to those in our little community that had to work and to those that didn't have a home to celebrate Christmas in. It was so wonderful seeing their faces light up when they received their Christmas tins full of love and goodness.
throwback to last year
Of course, we have to do it again this year. I'm pretty sure this will be a Christmas tradition for Hunter and I. We love the fact that through something as simple as giving cookies to others on Christmas day, that God's love is shown.
We always include a little bible verse that tries to sum up the story of the Gospel. Something quick and attention-grabbing. Something that says enough for those people to always have hope.
Always having fun
With that being said, I've already reached out to friends and family letting them know we are planning on doing the Cookie Mission again this year. If you feel led to donate tins or want to pray over this mission, we would so unbelievably appreciate it! Happy almost-Thanksgiving!
I love this! Such a great idea. I might have to do something like this with Claire, she has such a giving heart and LOVES to give to people. Thanks for sharing.
