I, too, have been seeing this all over and,yes, it is SO INSPIRING! The more I see it around the more excited I get. Just think how much of a difference this Christmas could be for the world if we would all just grab a hold of this!
I LOVE this! I've seen it a few times, and it continues to impact me every time I see it.
We were part of one of those 4 churches that raised money for water in 2006. What an incredible experience that was, and oh how it's changed our view of Christmas. Of course, it's still so easy for our sinful nature to get caught up in the easiness of the chaos of the season, but each year we seem to move farther and farther away from that (not to our own doing, of course!).
Thanks for showing this!
I love this video. I am so excited about Christmas this year. Now shopping craze, no over busies running around, just simple things, more time for fun, lots of meaning and less fluff. I am so pumped. It is also so invigorating to know that we are not alone. That there is a whole world of people out there who "get" us. Sometimes I feel like such an alien in my every day existence.
This clip is perfect. We are trying to focus on simple this year. But remembering the less fortunate is I think the true way to celebrate the season.
I have this on my blog too and I never tire of watching it. It's inspiring each and every time.
