It’s the first day of November and the holidays are right around the corner!! Are you getting excited? Are you planning a Thanksgiving feast in your mind? Do you have visions of turkey and dressing and stuffing and pie????
Have you started thinking about how you can help someone during the holiday season?
There are so many families out there, maybe right next door to you, that have a need. Times are tough. The economy is so soft and no relief in sight really. I wonder what we can do to help. Do you?
I’ve heard many people speak negatively about the recipients of holiday food donations… you know those can food drives they do during this time of the year? Some wonder why we would collect food for people we don’t know…. How do we know they aren’t just trying to get a free meal? It’s a shame really… that we would be compelled to be so skeptical.
Many years ago, I knew a family that did not have the money for a big Thanksgiving meal. In fact, on many days, this family did not have the money for any kind of a meal. Without the kindness of strangers bringing in food donations, this family would have had nothing during many holiday seasons.
Think about helping others…………….who knows, you may just help a little girl, longing for a chance to grow up and share stories with you….....
