No matter how hard things might be for you right now, find someone you can help and bless them the best you can (It doesn't have to involve money.)! You won't be sorry!
Today's post is short and sweet, but don't miss the message!
Why I do Blogmas:
It's no secret that I love everything about Christmas! From the day after Thanksgiving till the last box of Christmas decor is packed away and put back in storage for the next year, I love every bit of it! My husband and I are senior citizens who generally spend the holiday season alone. While we do have lots of very good friends and our church family nearby, all of our children live far, far away and have children of their own to make holiday memories with within their own homes. They are very thoughtful to include us in as much as possible via technology and we are so grateful to them for going beyond the extra mile to include us.
I started doing Blogmas because I had a choice, either lose myself in sorrow over what I could not change or embrace the love I have for the season and share it with others. I chose to share my joy in the journey not only with my children and grandchildren long-distance, but with others who love the season as I do and who just might find themselves spending the holidays alone as well. I hope in some small way you get a glimpse of holiday joy through these Blogmas posts and that it spills over into your life this holiday season!
Meet you back here tomorrow!

When my husband got out of the service in 1978. He did not qualify for unemployment. So the Salvation Army helped us at Christmas. My point is every year since then we have always put $20 in the red kettle. No Matter our situation. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteWe never forget a goodness towards us when we're going through hard times, do we?
DeleteGreat idea to bless others
ReplyDeleteLeeAnn, this is such a difficult time of year for those parents who are wondering how they're going to pull off the holidays for their kids, it's an opportunity for those who can to rally around those who truly can't.
