Our church initiated a wonderful goal for December. They asked each member to be a part of a campaign called 25 Days of Service. We set to work coming up with different was to serve. I thought it would be fun to be able to watch our service spread, so I found 4 paper chains and added 25 slips to each. We assigned a color to each of us and every time we did an act of service we got to add it to the family chain. It was a great way to keep our minds on Christ through the holiday.

| Individual chains |
 |
| Family chain getting off to a good start. |
We pooled our ideas. Some were individual activities, some were full family affairs.
 |
| Baked yummy goodies for our neighbors. |
 |
| Colored and wrapped our christmas gifts. |
 |
| The chain is growing... |
 |
| We bought and donated a whole armload of coats to "Coats for Kids" to help the kids at Aj's school who needed an extra layer to stay warm. |
This was the end of our chain by Christmas day. It is cool to think that each on of those papers was a time when someone put their own interest aside and made an opportunity to show their love! Best way to spend our holiday.
