Do you love paying it forward as much as we do? Today’s giveaway is all about paying it forward, and we feel like the movies we are highlighting pay forward goodness every time someone watches them! We love that with this giveaway we are going to pay it forward times two! We are giving away a DVD gift set including GREATER and HILLSONG – LET HOPE RISE, plus a $25 gift card to Target! So, you can give the gift of the DVD’s that keep on giving, and you can help someone in need with the Target gift card. Awesome, right?
We adore it when we find inspirational, family friendly movies that are appropriate for the whole family. GREATER, the movie is based on the life of Brandon Burlsworth, a football great whose story reminds us to dream big. HILLSONG – LET HOPE RISE was a phenomenon when it came out in theaters in September. Both films highlight the the value of perseverance! When people lean on their faith with perseverance – God enables them to do extraordinary things in life.
Christmas is a time that we try to instill values of giving in our children in the hope that they’ll want to keep giving and serving throughout the year. Each year we carol as a family to people we think would enjoy a visit and a little treat and it always ends up being a really rewarding experience. I think we get more out of it than they do. It’s humbling to see the gratitude that the people show for the simple act of showing up and singing at their door and giving them a plate a cookies. Of course, the true gift is the gift of friendship and love for simple acts of service.
This year we decorated a few homes for Christmas. These were families that didn’t have the means or time to decorate on their own and it was something different, it was fun for the kids, and it was fulfilling. The houses looked great and it enabled the whole neighborhood the enjoy a little more holiday spirit. We’ve found that there are lots of little ways that we can make a difference during the holiday season that can be tailored to any age!
