Give Thanks, Give You

Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
Mother Teresa

A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

Proverbs 11:25

Thanksgiving (along with Christmas and New Years) is fast approaching. Although its a time of thankfulness and counting the blessings given to us, we often neglect the "giving" part of Thanksgiving. Like Chirstmas, Thanksgiving is about giving gifts, but of a different kind. This season give your kindness, your love, your thoughtfulness, your helping hand,or....YOURSELF.

Just your time, your presence or the sound of your voice will speak volumes to those who haven't seen you in awhile. So send a card, call them up or just show up!

I myself, experienced that today. My Grandmother Charlotte, who lives clear across the country, literally showed up on our doorstep! She was just going to send money but decided it was more important to send the give the gift of herself. She refused to miss the birth of her first great-grandson.

Along with the gift of self, don't forget to contribute to making someone else's holiday special by giving to shelters, donating food or time to serve food to those who won't have the bountiful feast that you have.

Give thanks, Give You, Give Love,
