~~~What a wonderful time of the year this is with all the hustle and bustle of a
ll the holiday parties, cookie exchanges, Christmas programs, and other things going on! ~~~
Let’s not forget that this Season is not just for getting presents, but
rather, this is a wonderful time of the year to give to those people in need as well.
Do you have a large stockpile of items just sitting in your cabinet like me? Well, this is the perfect time of the year to share them! There are many food pantries, homeless shelters, women’s centers, etc… that really need products like toothpaste, deoderant, shampoos, conditioners, toothbrushes, etc…. Why not share some of what you have to help those in need? It really does make you feel so good too, just knowing that you are making a difference in the life of someone else.
Also, do you have a missionary closet or food pantry at your Church that could benefit from some of your stockpile? I am honored to be helping in the starting of a missionary closet at my Church–I will be donating alot of my extra goodies to it this year!
Don’t forget to pick up those FREE things that you think you’ll never use! You can always donate them to someone in need! There are many times that I pick up items at CVS, Walgreena, or the grocery store that I would never use. I just put them in my stockpile because I know that there is someone who will be able to use them! For example, you know those diabetic monitors that are always on sale at CVS and Walgreens? There are always coupons in the newspaper that make them FREE! I don’t need them but there are several people at my Church who are diabetic, so I take them and give them away! It did not cost me anything, and I am able to help someone else in need!
Have fun GETTING gifts this Holiday season, but also remember to GIVE some of your extra goodies to those around you in need–you will be blessed far over and beyond what you could ever imagine! I promise!
