Wednesday Wisdom

The holidays are just around the corner and with this being a season of giving and not receiving, it is more important than ever to give back to others. As Roy T. Bennett states, “Help others without any reason and give without the expectation of receiving anything in return.” During this holiday season, give what you can to help others. You can do so many different things to give back. You can donate clothes, volunteer at soup kitchens, and pack shoe boxes full of goodies for kids in other countries that are less fortunate than we are. Even if you are not able to spend very much, if any, money on others this year, make sure you give back with the way you act. You can instantly brighten someone’s day by holding the door open for them or giving them a compliment. This is your year to help others and make someone smile by focusing on giving and not receiving.
