The best presents --- the gift of HEART and TIME
The best presents during the holiday season --- the gift of heart and timeDuring this time of the year, it can be nerve-wracking to come up with ideas for the perfect gifts for people.Some of us don’t like the hustle-bustle of going to the malls or don’t relish going out in inclement weather just to shop. We prefer shopping on-line and have the presents delivered directly to our intended recipients.While it’s wet and cold outside, we are keeping warm at home, under heavy covers, sipping hot cider or hot chocolate.
But gift-giving this year has taken on a different meaning for so many.The devastation wrought by natural disasters throughout the worldThe evil that took away innocent lives in ConnecticutAnd closer to home, the frightening and life-threatening illness that struck a college friend just after we enjoyed dinner after Thanksgiving. It is literally a life or limb situation.Life is fragile and fleeting, indeed. So in lieu of presents, we are instead choosing to donate time and funds to
...International Red Cross for global reach….Meals on Wheels...local animal shelters or the ASPCA...and other charitable organizations.It doesn’t take much.....but we are more generous and put more money and more often in the kettle ... more
