Teaching the true meaning of Christmas

In Matthew 24:40, Jesus said, "'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."

At Legacy Moms, we believe that one of the best ways we can leave a Godly legacy is by serving others and putting our faith into action, and by doing so, teaching our children to follow our example. That's why this year, Legacy Moms is partnering with Beautiful Feet Ministries in Fort Worth to provide Christmas presents, coats, and other items for needy families who otherwise would not be having much of a Christmas. This is a hands-on opportunity for your family to serve a family in need and actually deliver the gifts yourself, and meet and minister to the family you are helping. If you are not available to that, you can still adopt a family and purchase and wrap the gifts, and someone else will deliver them to the family. If you are not familiar with Beautiful Feet, it is a place where the homeless and needy people in the inner city can get food, clothing, shelter and be taught the word of God. My family has served there and fed the homeless the past couple of years, and it is a wonderful organization. You can check out their website at www.thefeet.org . We will be meeting at Beautiful Feet on Friday, Dec. 18 where they will give you a map to the home you have selected, and a they will give you a box of food items for that family's Christmas dinner...you just bring the gifts! We have already gotten 17 families adopted by Legacy Moms just like you, but there are many, many more that need gifts. Please contact me at kym@legacymoms.org and let me know if you would like to join us, and I will work with you to select a family for you adopt and get you more detailed information!

Many blessings to you and your sweet family,

Kym
