It's December ~ a month to sparkle and shine. To share friendship, hugs, cookies! Many different events will be happening all through this special month of the of year. It's important that we each remember that as we hear the music that surrounds us, see the twinkle of lights at every corner and enjoy abundant celebrations ~ there are many, too many, who may be feeling heartbreak, sadness and loss, rather than the fullness of the season.
Please reach out, show and speak kindness to those who cross your path each day. Reach out to one you may not have connected with in too long a time, reconciliation is a gift to the giver and the receiver. Even though our faces may still be hidden beneath masks of protection, we can smile with our eyes, share a smile with a stranger. It can make a difference.
Today, we share with you just a few of the events for December. Perhaps these will spur your imagination for a post ~ maybe on Christmas Tree day you will share with us how you have decorated your tree, or your home. Maybe on Christmas Card day you will post the card you've created to share with blogging friends! Will there be a food drive in your hometown for animals in shelters, find out and help out! And be sure to see if there are food drives for families in need, and gift or toy drives for children. Bake cookies for a senior home! The lists for giving, and the need is truly endless ... Santa may do a lot, but each of us can do more. And remember ... always smile!
