27 Days of Giving

So two years ago, as a family, we sat down during Thanksgiving and talked in depth about how incredibly grateful we were.

As our conversation continued we felt a tremendous responsibility to extend our expression of thankfulness by being a family intentional with our giving. We wanted to leave a legacy with our children and simply be a help to others. We decided that starting on the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas we would give something away. It didn't have to be purchased or a material gift. Instead, it would be measured by the impact that it would make in that day. 

One day we cleaned out our closet and gave to the coalition. Another day we bought a meal for a family we didn't know. We didn't have to have a plethora of financial resources, just a heart to respond. Sometimes it was giving encouragement or just a moment with a stranger, but we gave. In our efforts that year our hearts were forever changed and we were able to see how much we truly have to give. We realized that we didn't have to go overseas, create a cure for some disease, or be a foreign missionary to change our world. We learned we can make a difference right where we are. 

With that being said, we are doing the “27 Days of Giving” again this year. From Friday, November 29th-Wednesday, December 25th we'll be looking for opportunities to give ourselves away… maybe you’d like to join us!

It's simple. Just follow our "27 Day Giving Guide" that will be posted next week or create one of your own with your family. You can take pictures of your moments and share your experience with us by hastagging #ElevateDads on Facebook or Instagram. Send us your stories as well and make a difference right where you are!

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38
