Encouragement Challenge #43: Share Your Christmas Goodies

Over the years, our family has enjoyed making "goodies" to share with our friends and neighbors during the Christmas season. Some of the items we have made and passed out include:

• Cookies:  Ginger Snaps, Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Cool Whip Cookies
• Chocolate Caramel Oat Bars 
• Brown Sugar Shortbread
• Divinity
• Fudge
• Penuche
• Peppermint Bark
• Granola
• Trail Mix
• Pumpkin Bread
• Homemade Ornaments

We do not make all of these every year, but usually choose 2 or 3 to focus on. We start baking early in the month, then freeze the goodies until time to deliver them. It is a fun tradition we have as a family.

ENCOURAGEMENT CHALLENGE #43:

Pass out goodies to your neighbors this week. If you do not bake or do not like to make ornaments, you can pick up a little ornament at a discount store and give it along with a card. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or expensive. Just share the love of Jesus with others. Let them know they are being thought of during this sometimes lonely time of year.
