Simple Gifts For the Holiday

Myrl Jeffcoat - Joy to the world! Thank you for the feature in the group!

Everyone can contribute doing good deeds for the season of giving.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® - Joy doesn't have to cost a fortune or get people into debt. There are many ways we can show we care and mean it without expecting something to come back to us. For when we make one bit of difference, to one human soul, we never know if we saved a life or just improved the way we live. The world can always stand improvement in the most positive ways.

Have a very special holiday. Thank you!

George Souto - Sometimes we just have to get down to the basics and show that human side. Nobody is promised the world, but we can all do our part to make it a better place. 

Have a wonderful Christmas. 

Silvia Dukes PA, Broker Associate, CRS, CIPS, SRES - The best gift of all is human kindness and meaning it right from the start without expecting anything else in return. I do believe in  contagious and it could be a positive experience for all!

Merry Christmas!

Brian England - You have a beautiful smile and I get the feeling you're just naturally a beautiful soul.

Enjoy all the wonders of the Christmas season.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - The firefighters are on my mind. Handing out baby wipes is very thoughtful and kind. They are working double duty and more. We must keep them in our thoughts and prayers. After all, they are breathing that air up front and it's personal. There are a lot of lives at stake.... including every plant and creature on earth. Praying for rain and safety to all. 

Sharon Tara - I firmly believe if you want to live in a good neighborhood, everyone must participate and look after each other. For everyone needs a helping hand from time to time and most won't ask. We must look out for each other and make it a better place here on earth. 

Mary Jo Quay - Many years ago I told my children, Christmas is not our birthday but to remind us about the true meanings of life, love, and sacrifice. They listened and learned. I just couldn't understand how out of control people got with exchanging gifts, especially when it came to how much each person should spend on other people. I don't get involved in any of that.

As late as yesterday, a woman was telling me her family is arguing about how much each one should spend and her daughter is stressed because her in-laws include uncles, and aunts and she can't afford it. As a person removed from that family scene, I predict unhappy endings. 

I do agree with you about the challenges we face. There are TOO many angry people making a big deal out of things they aren't thinking clearly through. And why are there so many unqualified judges judging other people? People are being roused up about feelings of injustice from times in history that we can't erase. I see universal disrespect running rampant. Don't they know, divided we fall? Or is that the goal of some invisible force we don't know?

It's as if people are gaining powerful strength in numbers from rage. People can't thrive on anger, disprespect, and accusations. Regression is not the answer.

Gita Bantwal - This should be the happiest time of the year. That's why when I'm out and about I study the faces of little children. Silently, I pray they grow up to live in a better world. They smile, I smile back. I do that year-round. We should spread smiles and not violence or bad thoughts. 

Inna Ivchenko - You've got the right idea. But isn't it sad that an innocent hug can be misconstrued? May you enjoy all the blessings of happiness and love.  

Kathy Streib - Yes! From the heart and not the wallet!
