| Gifts as we grow older
Posted: 12/20/2006 1:28:16 PM | Wonderful posts.........
One year a long time ago I sent a check to Jimmy Swaggert when I thought it was going to help the poor..........well you know the rest. I was angry.
I have sent money to homeless shelters in the large city in which I live. I feel good about that since the money is used for shelter needs. ( have requested copy of their finances) I believe we need to take care of our own before looking world wide.........
How about a gift of time for a shut in or at the local nursing home. What a gift of joy it is for the sick and elderly!
I have spent many winters camping on the beaches of Padre Island, Texas and was appalled at the dozens of cardboard boxes behind the HEB and Wal-Mart being used for housing for the homeless in Corpus Christi. A food or money donation to the church providing basic needs to them is so gratefully accepted.
Merry Christmas and blessings to all, Andrea
