Do you celebrate birthdays in your family?
Most likely the answer to that question is yes. So why not expand your list of birthday celebrations to included the birthday of your sponsored child.
If you happen to sponsor a birthday buddy, then this will be super easy to do. If your sponsored child has a different birthday, consider ways that your family can celebrate.
Here are some ideas:
- The most obvious is to send a birthday card or letter, but this will need to be done 6-8 weeks in advance to arrive in time.
- Make a special dinner (consider cooking food from your sponsored child's country) and have a birthday cake for dinner.
- As a family, spend time in prayer for your sponsored child.
- As a family, sit down and write to your sponsored child, telling them how much you enjoy your relationship with them.
- Tell your family and friends - I usually write a special blog post announcing our child's birthday - just as I would about one of my biological children.
What other ideas can you think of?
