I have decided that giving is going to be my way of life. The joy is so overwhelming. And what I have been getting back just blows me away. If I could describe the biggest change that has occurred in my life in less than 2 weeks of giving, I would s…
Glad to hear you doing this. We need to take care of ourselves as well as others or it doesn't work. Hope you are rested and headache free soon.
There's something special about giving like this - and you never know when the chance will come. What a lovely gift.
Sending prayers for your friend and for you. May he soon be well and home!
My mother and I were invited to her brother's house today for Christmas dinner. I am not in the habit of taking a gift for the hostess and we had been told not to bring anything, but I decided this would be my big give for the day. I stopped at Food…
My day started early with breakfast with a good friend. I gave her Christmas gift to her, an herb keeper. During the summer I would bring her herbs from my garden in a ziploc, but found a very cool herb keeper that holds them upright in a small amou…

Glad you had such a beautiful day with your friend and your dog and the quiet solitude. You deserve many such days. love from Pauline
I think your gift was your willingness to receive from your family. It sounds to me like your giving is wearing off on them - how loveloy!
How exciting to get your medicine necklace! I keep looking at that as a give to myself as well. I send prayers your way for your family - I'm sure your support of them during their time of need is a perfect gift!
Today was a good 'mindful' day. I tried really, really hard to stay connected to all humans, nature, God etc.... First I took our yellow lab for a nice long walk (he LOVES his walks). The sky was overcast and grey and I really relished the quiet and…
Wow - great first day! Wait unitl you see how this challenge transforms you.
Harriet, this is beautiful. You are sharing your faith in God. I like that your love (as well as your daughter's love by her mission work) is being "sent around the world." As the crosses are sentimental to you, you must have received word from God…
Wow!! Running 12 miles is such an awesome thing to do!! So glad your son did not have cancer. Wonderful give Jeannine.

Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
