Gift of Giving
If your family really wants to drop
some money during the holidays, drop it in places that need it. Plan a giving
activity for your family to participate in. It can be anything from a scavenger
hunt race to setting up a time to serve at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter.
Make the activity more about giving time and less about the money. Below
are some ideas!
-Set up volunteer time at the closest
homeless shelter or soup kitchen.
-Purchase hats, gloves, blankets and
candy canes. Make little give packages and pass them out to homeless folks on
the streets (Chicago is a great place to do this because of the brutal cold
weather).
-Make an “acts of kindness” scavenger
hunt type of activity. It could include tasks like buy flowers for a stranger,
pay for the next person’s coffee without saying anything, give a card to a
stranger with a message of love in it, leave a $20 tip at a fast food
restaurant, etc. It’s the little things.
-Donate non-perishable food to a local
shelter in need.
The list could go on.
You get the point though!
Do something for someone else...
Even if you just look at a stranger with loving eyes, empathetic eyes
Appreciating that they are human and
you are human. That counts just as much if not more!
Love for no other reason, acknowledge the oneness we hold as a spieces.
We are all
on the same team.
Unconditional love. <3
