”Let’s give Bibles again!” Evie exclaimed as we reached for the FH gift catalog.

Water Pump: 40 Days of Giving
During the period of 40 days, the Lord prepared Himself for His earthly ministry. While we’re not sure exactly what that entailed, we do know that He fasted.

40 Days of Giving

Let’s make it rain goats

Day 7: 2 Tippy Taps (8 Days of Giving)
Like many families this Christmas season, our family has had it’s share of sickness. This past week, the flu has made its way through four kids and me.

Give Like a Wise Man
‘Tis the season for gift-giving! The exchange of gifts at Christmas is something special at any age. The pleasure of giving and receiving with those I know best and care about most never gets dull.
