Are you wondering where such wild women of the night are headed?? For some, the answer is as plain as daybreak: the Black Friday sales, of course!? That?s right, every year my mom and I join the masses and spend the entire day wandering about, chatting and laughing, until our feet hurt and the guilt of staying out too long sends us staggering home.? And every year, to nobody?s surprise, we come home almost empty-handed.? We?re not disappointed.? We know that?s the way it will turn out before we even start planning.? The reasons are simple.? We don?t need anything.? We can hardly think of a thing to buy anyone.? We already have too much.
If you can relate - you have a list of people you?d like to give a gift to but are tired of buying more stuff just to buy more stuff - I have the perfect gift for you!? No waiting in lines, no returns necessary, no making room in the closet or cupboard, no wrapping paper, no second guessing, no shipping, and one size fits all.? It?s a card, one that will help build a school for hundreds of orphaned and destitute children in Ethiopia.
Kind Hearts, a Children?s HopeChest CarePoint, in Ethiopia is currently serving more than 200 children.? The CarePoint provides them with nutritious food, clean water, clothing, medical care, education, and Christian discipleship.? For these kids, it is, no doubt, a complete life changer.? However, they are serving a greater number of children than they have room for, and still many more watch from a distance, waiting and wishing for the day there is room for them.? Plans are underway to build a new school building which will DOUBLE the number of children they are able to serve.? Would you consider making their wish a reality by sending this card to someone on your list this Christmas?
Giving a gift in someone?s honor is incredibly meaningful. It says, ?I know you appreciate the significance of a good thing.? If you ask me about gifts I?ve received in the past, these are the gifts I remember. The simplicity of sending this card to family and friends can help improve the lives of hundreds of children for a lifetime. That?s a worthy gift.
If you?d like to cross a few things off your list and send a gift that truly exemplifies the spirit of Christmas, here?s how you can do it:
Option 1:? Use the PayPal button to the left.? First, select the amount of your gift.? Next, enter the names you would like listed on the ?To? and ?From? lines, and the recipient?s address (where you would like the card sent.)? Be sure to separate your information with commas.? Repeat for each card you would like to send.
Option 2:? Make your donation directly to Children?s HopeChest using the following link: Children?s HopeChest.? You will need to enter reference number ET2110000 and then specify KH Christmas Card in the notes area.? Send me an e-mail at davidsonfamilystl@sbcglobal.net with the recipient?s name and address.? Be sure to let me know how you would like me to fill in the ?To? and ?From? lines on the card.? If you would like to send multiple cards, you can make one donation and send one e-mail.? I am asking a minimum donation of $10/card.? Please include the amount of your gift, so I? will be able to share updates about the progress being made.
Because we will send absolutely 100% of your donation to Children?s HopeChest for the school building project, my husband?s Christmas gift to me is as many cards as you will order. (Guess what he?s getting?? Postage for as many cards as you will order :)
All cards will be addressed by hand and mailed on December 12. If you would like to have your card mailed sooner, just let me know what day. If you would like multiple cards sent to your home address so that you or your child can hand deliver them, let me know how many to send. If you have any questions, just send me an e-mail.? Definitely stop back for updates!

When you gather the profits of your hard work, leave some for the foreigner, the orphans, and the widows.? Then the Lord, your God, will bless you in all you do.? Deuteronomy 24:19.
