In my last Post,
I talked about how I had to call 911 for my daughter.
I'm happy to say everything is A-Okay.
Thank the Gods
or God,
depending on you religious preference.
In that Post I also said,
because of the
Holiday Season,
Holiday Season,
I was going to stay away from writing anything on
"Politics, ISIS, the Racist Donald Trump, Ex-Jared Fogle associate getting 27 years for child pornography, the E.coli outbreak, and all the other fun stuff I could berate so easily."
To stay with that idea,
I would like to talk about my other daughter,
the one who's heart is always in the right place when it comes to giving to the unfortunate.
So far this year,
I've tried to at least give a dollar to every
Salvation Army Bucket
I come across,
give a dollar to every
Homeless Person
holding a sign,
and have given food to
Two People
who have stopped by my house,
saying they haven't had a good meal in awhile.
To say that I am marked as a
Charitable Person,
is an understatement.
And it is all because of my daughter who told me,
"There will always be people less fortunate then us, but we must do what we can for them."
She was about eight years old when she told me that.
She will be turning eighteen soon so I have been giving every
Holiday Season
for over ten years.
I give toys and clothes to the church at least twice a year.
I help a handicap man recycle twice a month so he can have a little extra spending money.
And,
of course,
the dollar bills I give each year to the different charities
and homeless people.
I'm not trying to make it look like I am some kind of heroic figure by doing these things,
but the feeling of helping sure gives me a warm
and fuzzy feeling inside.
If you haven't done anything charitable yet this year,
you should to do at least one thing this
Holiday Season,
and then you'll find that,
one act of kindness goes a long way in how you feel
and the person you helped feel.
Plus you can always ask them to
Pay It Forward.
This is,
Asking Everyone To Do One Charitable Act This Season,
Jim Hauenstein,
And,
“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”
- Mother Teresa -
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
