“Time? Ugh! Groan! I’ve got less of that than money. It’s too hard!” I know I’m talking to myself again. But how about trying something fun like wrapping presents at a local children’s home. You would not believe how many children are without homes and how many presents and wrappers they need. Hey, You don’t even have to be good at wrapping the kids won’t care! Or you can take a send a few cards to some sick and shut ins at your church or volunteer to take a couple of hours away from your own family, just 1 or 2, to deliver meals on Christmas Day. Who knows? You may actually WANT those hours away from your family and they can;t talk bad about you if it's for a good cause. Sneaky giving.
It may seem like a lot to ask, but it’s a gift will touch you, the giver as well as the recipient for a long time to come.
How special is that?
Best,
Kwana

Does my week in Costa Rica delivering clothes to the needy count?
Kwana very well said! We give gifts to a boy's home. Last year, this was the first year for one of the boys to receive a gift and he was 15 yrs old.
My favorite part of "Dickens" - is Father Time.
Every day is a treasure. We each need to remember the reason for the season, wrapping, delivering, sharing with those who are in need.
Absolutely Kristen!!
Wow Joyce. That is what a lot of our kids, well mine, would take for granted.
Well said PVE.
I agree, giving your time is most rewarding of all. Good for the heart.
Very great ideas. I really feel like I want to help others this year because I've been so blessed in my life.
Happy Holidays!!
