Generosity

This weeks blog is about generosity. We find that giving of yourself is so very enriching. There are many ways of giving or helping and it doesn't have to be monetary. It can be giving a person in need a helping hand. It can be as simple as when some of us grow vegetables in our garden, to share the bounty with an elderly neighbor or take some surplus to the food bank. You can even take time to stop in with a cake or some cut flowers for a shut in who would be thrilled to have a visit with a caring person. We have always enjoyed making up gift bags for the senior center and for the meals on wheels folks. We would fill them with fun items for the holidays, such as flags for the 4th of July or an ornament for Christmas time. It gives us a great feeling when we would get thank you notes from the seniors.
If you can give some time to help a person in need such as Habitat for Humanity or just mow the over grown lawn of someone who needs a little help with their yard. Also run an errand to the store for someone who just isn't feeling well enough to do it themselves.
To sum it up, just give a little of yourself and enjoy the feeling that it brings to help your fellow man. Especially this day in age it makes you feel so good. We are also proud contributors to the Children's Miracle Network and the Susan G. Komen Sell for The Cure, but if you can't contribute monetarily (we know times are tough right now) just giving a helping hand can make all the difference to someone. You would be surprised.
