Compassion Share and Tell

I'm joining my friend Yvonne in her new link-up called Compassion Share and Tell...where we share with each other what we have written to our Compassion kids.

I've been busy this weekend!

I wanted to get a regular round of letters out as well as Christmas letters and cards.

For my regular letters, I wrote about fall and how much I love this season. I talked about how my girls like to rake the fallen leaves into a big pile and then jump in it (and I mentioned that I did this, too, when I was a kid). I also talked about our visit to Compassion's global ministry center earlier this month. Finally I ended with a prayer request for my friend who has recently been diagnosed with cancer.

I included photos of my girls and I with the Jesus statue at Compassion's GMC as well as a beautiful, fall tree we saw recently.


For my Christmas letters I used some Christmas paper I had and wrote a very short story about Jesus' birthday.
 
On the back I photo copied this Christmas word find I found HERE.


I also filled out a Christmas card for each child.

And now I'm off to the post office!

Awesome!! :) I did similarly - filled out Christmas cards this month. Last month I sent Christmas letters. It was a last minute decision to send cards too. I also send letters about respect/purity to my kiddos, depending on age. Lately, I have been having a lot of extra time it seems. But I am all done with my letters this month, so I have been working on making things better organized to send out letters when I have not much time!

You should write up a post and link up to Yvonne! : )

I was thinking about doing just that! Hopefully I can do that sometime this week :)
I love how you did both a fall letter and a Christmas letter! I wrote a batch of letters in September and posted about it on my blog and then didn't get around to mailing it until all my Christmas letters were done...so my kids are getting a similar package with quite a variety of items!
Thank you Jill for linking up!! Your post and the letter I received today from Lina reminds me that I need to send more photos with my letters. Lina mentioned that she loves to receive photos. Maybe once our tress start acting like it is fall, I will be able to send some fall photos next month.
I love what you did with your christmas letters. I sent christmas cards and christmas stickers, but I love the story and word search idea! I might do something like that for next year :)
