Glad you asked! My date idea for today is going to take a little planning. First, you and your spouse need to take the time to go shopping together. Buy some items you would use for a newborn baby and ponder how Mary (Jesus' mother) must have felt preparing for the birth of Jesus in a stable after a long journey!
Next, put them under your tree until you've collected several items (diapers, clothes, toys, bottles, etc.). The two of you can plan a trip to the local Crisis Pregnancy Center and donate the gifts in honor of Jesus' pending arrival.
If you have children of your own, take the time to ponder your favorite items from the birth of your child/children. Notice how much the items have changed over the years!
Service projects are a fun way to grow closer as a couple, and in your faith.

Great idea! It's always more fun to serve together.
that is a super idea for couples. but i think it would be great for children as well. my daughter, who homeschools, could do this with her kiddos!
I like this idea, Sonya.
