On my facebook page, I read this & it struck me as something that is important to remember as we are all filling ourselves up today & looking at the ads for Black Friday:
"Chris wants everyone to know that 2/3 of the world lives on less than it cost us for a can of cranberry sauce...be thankful today but be helpful tomorrow..."
I have always felt charity was important so please don't forget to donate this Christmas, whether it be for "Toys for Tots", the "Salvation Army" or the local food pantry. Many grocery stores will have places where you can drop off can goods to donate so it is easy to give.
I know with the economic trouble everyone is facing these days, it is easy to say, there isn't even enough for me but often it is because of our "wants" not our "needs". It is easy to forget that there are so many families in this country who do not have the "needs" covered. Even if you don't have the funds to donate this holiday season, the "Red Cross" can always use blood donations. There is always a way to find a way to help someone in need, even if it is shoveling the snow from an elderly neighbor's drive for free.
Also, don't forget all of the men & women in the arm forces who will not get to spend the holidays with their loved ones.
