- Christmas is a Time for Giving. Love, Peace, Heart!
I honestly LOVE giving more than recieving. I always have. I love being able to give. The past few years I have not been able to give as much since I injured my neck and lower back as a paramedic. I always had give presents to needy. Always tried to help anyone in need. I am finally to where I come do some to help at the last minute and couldn't find anywhere to give in person. So I am going make donations to a few places. To me It is soooooo rewarding to give. I can't explain how it makes me feel. I always like to do it anonymously to. I never want any type of Glory for it. It is just a great feeling to be able to help someone. Just like when I was a Paramedic(which I MISS MORE THAN anyone knows!!!) I loved helping people, saving people. This season is not about what anyone can get. It is about giving back. (to me) It is about Jesus. I am not a religious fanatic. I am just not into the retail commercial stuff. Merry Christmas to Kentucky and Indiana! I have always said DO NOT get me anything GIVE to someone who needs it. EVEN when I lost my home to a House fire last year. I was the same way. I didn't need anything I wanted to help people that are worse than me. This may sound BLOATED. But this is honestly from the bottom of my heart!!! Posted by Editor Southern Belle
