"Its not how much we give,
but how much love we put into giving".
- Mother Theresa
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
When most think of the Christmas/Holiday season, one of the first things that comes to mind is gift-giving. And if you are anything like me when I was a kid, I was focused on gift receiving. This year, maybe you are not at a place to be able to afford to give gifts, or maybe you don't want to deal with the hustle and bustle of it all. Either way, maybe we can think about gifts a little bit differently. Giving begins with generous mindset. Generous with love, time, resources. One of the most important gifts you can give is love, and this doesn't have to be through monetary means. You can give love through spending time with an elderly relative, mentoring a younger sibling, or even lending a helping hand to a stranger. So I encourage you to help bring a little light to a dark world. You never know what a kind word could do.
And remember, there is often more blessing in giving rather than receiving.
