Give

All of my previous posts speak about retaining cash and making wise decisions when purchasing retail items. Although it is important to do so, we must also remember to give to others. During this holiday season we are seeing a disproportionate number of people going without. Whether it is from job loss or those born into poverty we must reach out and lend a helping hand.

Helping can come in the form of providing money, clothing, food, toys, or your personal time. I challenge everyone to take the opportunity this holiday season to choose one form of help. I guarantee it will be gratifying and you may find that you will receive as much as you give.

Also, share with others some of the charitable experiences you engage in. Sharing these experiences will make others aware of how much help is needed and how getting involved can make a big difference.

The holidays is usually the catalyst for most charitable giving. Please remember that help is needed year round and it means as much to give in March and April as it does in November and December.

Give with a genuine heart. If it is easy for you to write a check, do that but also dedicate some of your personal time. If you have extra clothes donate them but don't just bag them and dump them off at a central location and never think more about them. Hand them over directly to someone that works for a charitable organization. Give with Love!!!

It is hard to define "Life", but someone told me that the majority of "Life" is Love and Service. Keep Love and Service in mind with all activities. I wish you all and your families the best during the Holidays!!!!
