goal
Don't get me wrong - I love Christmas. It's time for family, for comfort, for love. And for Christians, it's a time to celebrate what's most important, the birth of Jesus Christ.
But there are a lot of things we get wrong about Christmas.
For one, we give each other so much stuff. Whether it's out of obligation or just to truly show someone we care, we're still essentially material-rich people giving other material-rich people more... materials. The purpose of our holiday, though, is Christ. And Jesus made his purpose clear to us - sacrifice. He died so that we could live. And we struggle to keep that the focus of Christmas while we're busy buying and unwrapping gifts.
Let's face it, we actually sacrifice very little. But what's small to us can be huge to someone who lacks basic health necessities. Just $20 is enough for one person to have clean water for two decades, for example.
So, this year, I'm giving up my Christmas. I'm asking everyone that would've bought me gifts to instead donate that money to help me build a well. I'm also asking other of you to join me and give up your gifts. 100% of all funds raised go directly to the water projects.
Between now and Christmas, I aim to raise however much i can for my charity: water campaign.
Jesus sacrificed himself for me. This is the least I can do.
Please join me.
