This year, my family has decided not to give each other gifts. Instead, we're "adopting" another family for the holidays!We're helping purchase items for Christmas dinner, getting presents for the family, even looking for trees to provide for those in need.
So, for those of you with a little extra this holiday season, join us in helping make someone else's Christmas a warm, happy one!
So many people go through their day taking for granted all the amazing things we have, the blessings we don't even acknowledge. Stop for a moment and take a look around you. Maybe you have a few bills to pay, but you also have a warm home. Or maybe your job doesn't seem as fulfilling as it used to be, but you're able to put food on the table this holiday. So, your car has a paint chip or a few miles on it, but at least you don't have to live out of it. Maybe your kids didn't get that exact gift they wanted, but they will have something to unwrap on Christmas morning.
There are so many ways to help. Go to your local stores and ask about any local programs they're involved in, to sponsor kids, families, or a senior citizen. Call your church and ask how you can help out. Go to the community center and donate some items you don't use, or even volunteer to help feed the hungry at your local shelter. There are so many ways to help people in need, all we need now are people who want to make a difference in someone else's life. And when you do, you'll have that amazing satisfaction to keep you warm this Christmas!
