As Christmas draws near, I have three gift ideas for you to consider.
Home Care
First, if you have an elderly loved one in your life, you can pay for a few hours a week of Home Care. Often these companies will provide staff to run errands, prepare meals, do light housework, provide personal hygiene care or any number of tasks. It’s a wonderful gift for an elderly loved one. Check with a local Retirement or Assisted Living facility for their recommendation.
Honor Flight Program
Secondly, many of you may not be aware of the Honor Flight Program for the veteran in your family. It has been around for several years. I heard about it on Good Morning America years ago. My father-in-law served in the South Pacific in World War II and was in the first Honor Flight group out of Rock Island, Illinois.
It is a free trip to travel with other veterans to Washington DC to see the memorials erected in their honor. Currently, World War II veterans take priority followed by Korean veterans or any other veteran who is seriously ill, etc.
One family member is allowed to travel with their loved one. They see all the memorials and often meet the Secretary of Defense. It’s an amazing gift for our veterans who sacrificed so much for the rest of us. Contact: honorflight.org to get your loved one on the next trip.
Time
Finally, it’s hard to know what to get that older senior who seems to have everything. Consider providing a gift of your time.
Merry Christmas and may you have a blessed New Year.
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35
