Cards2Art Recycling Project
Christmas is a special holiday for families throughout the world. As Christians, we celebrate the birth of our Messiah and reflect on the story of the Immaculate Conception. God entrusted Mary & Joseph with His human form, Jesus Christ. Through faith, the family accepted their gift and raised a loving and compassionate child who grew as a man destined to take away the sins of the world. If Mary & Joseph were not ready, or willing to accept this gift, the fate of mankind would be very different today.
Today, parents may not receive a message from an angel or gifts from Magi, but our children (however we receive them) ARE gifts from God. Just as God chose Mary & Joseph, He offers us an opportunity change the fate of the world through our children. We accepted the responsibility, but do we accept accountability?
Our children were sent to us by God through foster placement. These (3) beautiful souls needed a loving family to nurture them and guide them in life. Through active parenting and faith (not only in the power of God, but in the ourselves though Him), we are making the most of our gifts and taking ownership of the future of our community by forging future advocates and agents of change in our young children.
In preparation for the 2011 Christmas season, our family has created a project allowing us to spend time together identifying needs of our community and contemporaries, while reflecting on our personal blessings by giving back and “paying (blessings) forward.” The Cards2Art Project was created to demonstrate how easy it is to make a big impact in lives of others and inspire our children to create change in the world.
