Disclaimer: I received this complimentary product through
the Homeschool Review Crew.
We are starting a new Christmas family tradition thanks to The Giving Manger from WorthyKids. The Giving Manger includes a
hardcover book, manger, straw, and Baby Jesus. This book presents the new
tradition based upon Matthew 25:40b – Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. In this heartwarming
story, Anne and Ben discover the joy of giving and the true meaning of
Christmas when their father presents a simple wooden manger. After he reads the
Scripture, he presents a new family tradition – offering gifts to Jesus by
serving and helping others.
Place the wooden manger in a visible spot in your home. Each day, through the month of December, place a piece of straw to the manger each time a kind deed or act of service is performed. On Christmas Day, place Baby Jesus in the manger. Refer back to the heartwarming story which reads, “You filled the manger by helping others. The Bible tells us that Jesus had no crib for a bed, but you gave him this manger full of love instead!”
Anne and Ben learn it is better to give than to receive. As your family works together to spread love and kindness this Christmas season, your hearts will be filled with more joy than ever before as you help your family shift the focus of Christmas from getting to giving.
Another bonus to this book is that it includes Manger Moments and Manger Memories! Manger Moments provide you with service ideas for children, teens, and families. Manger Memories provide you with a sheet to record your service through the years.
