It’s the time of year when ads for holiday cheer (in the form of unhealthy food and collections of junk that fill our homes and our time) are non-stop.
The thing I’ve learned after really helping others the past years is that which brings true joy and happiness is not bought in a store, it is that which we GIVE to others. I’m not talking about the Apple Watch or a new iPhone. I’m talking about generosity that comes from our hearts to help others that will never be able to repay us here on earth.
How I combat the American consumerism that is about to explode next week is by giving and giving generously to organizations like ours that are really making a difference.
We’ve made it super easy and have compiled a wish list of items we need. You can pick any items and purchase them in honor of someone else! We will mail them a card that says that you bought a cow or a goat or 3 chickens for children in Kenya in their name. Or, as a family you can come together and do a family gift for a child! Or heck, even build a well!!!!
It is my joy to have a front row seat to all those we are able to help. I’m so thankful for every one of my family and friends that has joined me the past years. We really are making a difference.
Pease join me in giving hope, joy and love and shop from my grown up Christmas list. And just watch what you receive in return. It’s priceless.
