“There are children out there with no toys!” was what my oldest daughter said to her younger sister last night. Raising children who are caring, keep an open mind, and able to stand for a cause I believe can help better this world. I am proud to be the mother of a child who keeps her mind open along with caring about the world and people in it. This year we have entered the world of volunteering which we have not before. I talk a lot about helping out other’s but this year I have gone out with my daughter and given, time, gifts, and I think the best has be the hat’s donation for young cancer patients. She took her time walking the aisle’s to pick out two perfect hats that she thought a young girl would like.
Watching her volunteer has helped me to see that even the little things that we do actually help others. It also helps to raise awareness about people and their situations in life. It has helped me to put life into perspective that at this point in time my family and I are doing just fine. I am looking to do more then just don’t monetary things for the up coming year. This holiday season it has been food and toy’s for the different school fund raisers. I know that for us all money is tight but remember giving something small may help a family who has very little to nothing at all. Let’s celebrate the holiday with family, friends and help our fellow neighbor’s.
Yes slowly I am getting into the Spirit of the Holiday . Which as I age ooh so graceful I have come to realize it is more about the gift of given then receiving? Remember the creator did give us the ultimate gift of his only child and as every parent knows children are so very special. Because of this I am leaving my Grinchly ways and enjoying the Holidays with a bit of youthful fun and hopefully aid someone in have an enjoyable one also.
