You know, this has been a tough year for a lot of families, and 2009 will probably be the same. Sometimes I find myself getting down because I worry about tomorrow. Today I was reminded of just how much the Lord has blessed me with.
AWEC helps a family in need every Christmas. Do you know what was on this year's family's Christmas wish list? Pillows, blankets, pots with lids, drinking glasses, spoons, jacket for a dad, jacket for a child, gloves, hat for cold weather, and educational books for an 8 year old boy. This family isn't asking for a Wii or Tonka trucks or the new IPhone. They are basically asking for help to stay warm this winter. It really puts things back in perspective for me.
I know this year is tough for everyone. However, if you can find any small amount of $$ to donate...I would encourage you to do so. Donate to whatever charity you like...but please donate. Let's all try to remember that there are people way less fortunate than we are out there. Even $1 would help. Just think of the good that could be done if everyone could donate $1.
