Please Pass The Potatoes
Giving with a Purpose
Someone asked me today if I was ready for the holidays, "Yes, I am."
She looked at me with envy, "Lucky you."
I mentioned, instead of buying gifts for our kids and friends, we made donations, in their names, to their local food pantries.
"What a great idea. Giving with a purpose. I just hope your kids understand and appreciate the sentiment behind what you're doing."
I shook my head"Oh yes, they won't be surprised, they know their parents."
All the envelopes were sent earlier this week and I hope, in our small way, we can create a little warmth for those who don't have as much as we have.
