I'm feeling a bit scroogey and grinchey this week. Not exactly sure why. I'm definitely not bummed about the birth of Jesus. I'm very thankful and joyous about that. Perhaps I'm kind of dejected about what the celebration of that birth has turned into. I'm also a little stressed about how much need there is in our little corner of the world. So many people need help with bills and medical care and food and gifts for their kids. That in itself is overwhelming to me, but it is magnified by the fact that so many of them are not getting much help, if any.
I know many of you have helped someone. Maybe you gave to your church or the Salvation Army or some other ministry or an individual family that you know. Its great if you have helped someone. Whether you have or have not reached out with an act of benevolence this holiday season please consider helping someone else this week, before Christmas gets away again. There is still so much need out there.
Especially, if you are rich please consider helping someone (else) this year. If you are not sure if you are rich, click here to find out.
Also, to help focus a little on the wonder of Christmas, read this short piece over at EO. I think you'll like it.
Merry Christmas!
