December is a month that is focused on giving. There is a reverse Advent Calendar making the rounds on FB where each day is a different food item to donate. The calendar suggests accumulating the food items and donating to a food bank on Christmas Eve.
It struck me that one bag or box of groceries given to a food bank on one day would not be much help, so I am going to take the food items on a weekly basis to 3 separate blessing boxes around my local communities.
I frequently have thoughts of wanting to help others but fail to follow through. I am looking forward to this anonymous way of giving.
Update: the gratitude challenge has been interesting. Some items were easy to share. Some items I had to dig a bit deeper to find. Overall, it has helped me to view many more areas of my life with gratitude.
