Holiday Happiness: Giving

It is in giving that we receive. ~ Francis of Assisi

The holidays are a very stressful time for everyone and an exceptionally hard time for some.  So, until the New Year I’ll be posting a Holiday Happiness post each day to try help folks out who are struggling.  As always you can reach out to me at Happinesskane@aol.com for a kind word or someone to listen. ~ Rev Kane

Tonight I want to talk about giving.  One of my favorite things this time of year is giving gifts.  In giving, without the expectation of receiving, we truly show our ability to be kind and care for others.  I especially like, trying to find a gift that really shows the person I know who they are by finding something that connects with them.

This time of year we also generally try and reach out and give to others as well, whether it is volunteering for a charity, giving money, or even dropping some change in the Salvation Army kettle.  This time of year we are good about thinking about others, about being charitable, the challenge is to find that spirit in us the rest of the year as well.  Have a happy day my friends. ~ Rev Kane
