December 4

On the giving front today:


Donated a box of diapers for the giving tree at my mom's church.  Also talked with her about an opportunity for giving some time, rather than money.  If we are around at all between Christmas and New Years, their church houses homeless/struggling families for a week.  We could go play with kids, hold babies, talk with people.

This sounds more like it.  And not just because I am going to go broke if I keep giving money for the next 26 days.  Because reaching out is the key. People, connection, hope, care-- more so than things, these are what we need to survive.  To grow.  To change.

In what ways can my actions help others be more powerful in their own lives?

And in the meantime, what do I already have in my house, that I can give away?  How can it do the most good?

Goal for the rest of the week:  Help others, without bankrupting myself.
