My Mamaw was always an inspiration for the joy of giving. One year at Christmas I gave her a small frame that had two people with gifts in their arms and the caption read, "The Joy Of Giving". Mamaw gave her time, her money, and her talents. I am lucky to have so many people around me with giving spirits. What I admire about the many people around me who give is that they often do so without much fanfare. They give and fade quietly into the background. This Christmas I was especially touched by the people around me and thier giving nature. It only takes a small gesture. It could be anything from giving a little money to a local charity to buying someone groceries. The beauty of giving is that it just doesn't have to be at Christmas. I have always loved the Salvation Army's slogan that need knows no season. It's true! Today I noticed a facebook friend had a great status message. It read, "What did you GIVE for Christmas?" What a wonderful question. Merry Christmas!
