What did you GIVE today?
I got this idea from my own post in the "I wish" thread. I can't say that I give of myself every day. I can say that most days I at least give laughter to people. That in itself means a lot to me to be able to make people smile and laugh.
I'd like to think that someone will post in this thread daily, just so we can see that we are a giving group of people. So share with us your story or sentiments "What did you GIVE today" |
I am making three coloring books for lil guys in the family. It has been a lot of work and I am happy to do it. It has been a three week long project filled with stories, cartoon characters and illustrations all done by hand. So not actually given as yet...... I give food to three stray cats everyday! And love to see them waiting for din din on my porch. I wish I could adopt them all but it is not possible.

I gave my parents my time today. I took my father to his radiation treatment. For my mother I did the laundry and cooked dinner. Time and love is all I have to give.

I gave bird seed and suet to my native birds. I used the fat from my cherry ham for the suet. It still had alot of the cherries in it so the birds got a special treat.
I gave cookies to my neighbors. They all looked at me like I was a crazy person, in a good kinda way. Is this what we have become? It was tradition to always send goodies to neighbors, out on the farm. I gave a massage to my old dog, who with this cold cold weather, is having problems walking even with coated aspirin. I gave myself a beauty treatment at home. I thought since others gave such pretty things to me, the least I can do is treat myself as well as others are! |

I'm volunteering at the children's hospital ~ every day this week and next, as a lot of the college volunteers are out-of-town, so they asked me.
It's been so wonderful! I'll be there all day tomorrow and the children are so excited for all the visitors and presents! |
I am teaching my nephew to give. He picked out a gift for the children's shelter today :) I was so proud!! He is only 1 yr old but never too young to start giving :)

I gave books away this last weekend...
While in Barnes and Noble I overheard a lady asking where she could find a certain book and she also wanted to know the cost. The book she was asking for was one I knew I was going to take to the Goodwill along with several other books. As she went to walk by me I called her over and told her that I would gladly give her the book she was looking for along with several others that I was sure her teen daughter would enjoy. Her eyes got all misty and it made me want to cry. She said *really, you would just give me the book?* of course I said. We exchanged numbers and the next day we took the box of books to her sons job and left them with a smile. In all they ended up with over 300.00 dollars in books because we were all in the right place at the right time... She called me later to thank me again and tell me that I had made her and her sons day... Not only did I recycle my books but I know they have gone to a good home... |
...time and energy to make desserts for our dinner tomorrow... and they look pretty scrumptious!
