“Whenever you’re giving, it’s like a gift to yourself.” Sanaa Lathan
At the end of the event the organizers asked if he would do it again next year. He agreed and I was right behind him with an eager “Yes!” There is nothing so rewarding as making a child forget their unfortunate circumstances and smile, at a time when so many other children are reveling in family time, surrounded by relatives. It was more like receiving a blessing ourselves. Is there a gift of yourself that you can give? Is there a local ministry or agency that could use a volunteer? Who – a stranger, a neighbor, a friend, or family member – could use an unexpected gift this holiday? “In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35
