We received the Samaritan's Purse Christmas shopping catalog today. It is filled with wish lists for people in developing countries. Some of them are very affordable such as $4.00 for milk, $7.00 for a hot meal, $6.00 for blankets, or $14.00 for baby chickens. There are gifts which help people earn a living, gifts for medical needs, gifts for compassion, and gifts of faith. My oldest was able to read through the catalog and select his own gift for a child; in the process, he began to understand the nature of life in developing countries, and the impact of his help. A very small amount can mean a huge blessing to a family.

I just got the Heifer International "Gift Catalog"!
I'm thinking of gifting some Bees.
Our church is a national drop-off for the shoeboxes. But I'm seriously considering buying some things from the catalog & then sponsoring some boxes. We did this one year & it was so much easier and my boys loved "shopping" in the catalog.
