As this Christmas is upon us I always look to see if the spirit of giving is till there. And yes it still there. To me the most important thing in life is to know God and also be a help and a blessing to someone else! Yes there are those who are only out there to make money and only care about themselves. That’s ok they are in a free country and they can do whatever they want to do.
As I was in line to purchase some new sneakers for my son, there was a couple that approached us and asked if we were spending more that $50 dollars at this store. I was puzzled by the question and of course if I was one of the people which I have run into these days I could have said “that is none of your business” as there are many who are unhappy and they are tortured souls. I told them that I was spending more than that and she looked at me and gave me a $20 dollar’s off a purchase of $50 or more! They told me that it would expire today and that they could not find anything they wanted. I thanked them and they told me to enjoy and they went there way.
The season is of giving, not just of presents or money, but of helping someone with a project, spending sometime with someone who is alone and can not get out. Maybe visiting an old friend, or a relative that has been forgotten. Maybe just picking up the phone to say hello to someone you have not spoken to, or even just to call and say that you appreciate them.
I thank God for all my family and friends. And well when God allows me to help I do as well. Sometimes I think what can I do, what a difference can I make? Well just alittle goes along way. I think if we did alittle each one of us, I bet we would make such a difference. I also believe that this is not just for Christmas but all year round. So if you run into someone that may need a helping hand and if you can help do it!
Blessing to all of you…..
