We are in December. This is traditionally recognized as a time to give to others. That may be giving at the Red Kettle for the Salvation Army, giving to food banks, just getting that new high-demand toy for your kid, giving time at a soup kitchen, or a thousand other ways.
While this is the traditional time, many give more than in December. Many give anytime or even all year.
Over the decades I have come to know that the real joy in giving comes from giving for someone who cannot do for themselves, and being humbled at the true effect that has.
Please share how you give, if you are comfortable. Hopefully that will encourage others here. Perhaps someone wants to give and is at a loss how, and what you do may help give them a way. If you know how it may have affected someone, please feel free to share that also. Not to blow your own horn, so to speak, but so others can know that giving truly does make a difference in a life. I will share below, but want others to share also.
Laura and I give Teddy Bears every month to Law Enforcement for children in distress. The feedback we have received at once rips our hearts out and humbles us, that something so simple as giving a Teddy Bear makes a difference in the life of a child.
