A few weeks back we offered some easy suggestions for sending your sponsored child a card for Christmas in addition to providing a Christmas gift.

The other day we received a great example of how simple it is to bless your sponsored child. Nate and Josi B. sent in Christmas cards for the children they sponsor. A sweet Christmas card with a short handwritten note, along with a photo and a postcard will be sent to each child.

You don't have to write the type of year-in-review update you may send in Christmas cards to your neighbors or friends. And your sponsored child might like to see some of the snowy winter scenes or Christ-centered art on many Christmas cards today.

So if you haven't already, please consider sending a short note to your sponsored child. The sooner you send it, the sooner (and closer to Christmas) your child will receive it.

A few sentences will reinforce the idea that you remember and care for them. This upcoming season can be busy, but that shouldn't stop us from spreading good cheer and a reminder of God's great love.
