Sub 4 Santa

By
Real Estate Agent with Long Realty Company

Now that we are all in the spirit of the holidays, it should snow any moment! Actually snow helps us feel like Santa is on his way, but for many people it is major stress time on how to get Santa to deliver this year. Since it is the season for giving, Cornerstone Real Estate Professionals in Logan Utah has decided to get involved in the Sub 4 Santa program. This is where agents sort of adopt a family in real need, and buy gifts for the children, so they will have a visit from Santa. I have done this in the past for families that are a having a hard time making ends meet. Nothing will bring you more joy or satisfaction than seeing the faces of children who now have a warm coat to wear in the cold weather, or a shinny new truck or doll to play with. For the little money it cost to get involved in a program like Sub 4 Santa, it is worth every penny to at least try to give rather than just talk about it.

Taking the time to think about others this time of the year is very rewarding in many ways. First it shows your faith in the gifts of sowing and reaping. I do not do this to get anything in return except the satisfaction that as a Professional REALTOR, I am taking the time and resources to give back to the community I am in, and outside of my area as well. A long time ago I started to adopt a family in my area, and one in a part of Mexico that is dear to my heart. Giving of oneself not only in time, but also in resources is my small part to Thank my maker of the many Blessings He has given me throughout the year, and beyond.

Get involved somehow this Christmas Season. I know everyone is struggling this time of the year, but when you step out of your comfort zone and do a little extra, the rewards are heavenly!

Sub 4Santa sounds like a great program. I've been volunteering at the local food banks and donating food when I can and it sure does feel great. Our Real Estate office also donates can goods, with each agent doing their share.

Can I just add. Thank you for all of our agents who have jumped at this and signed up so quick. We are helping out 10 kids, total of 20 gifts, we put up the sign up sheet last week and there are only 3 out of 20 spots left.
