"The Spirit of Giving" What if You Just Can't Afford Gifts for the Kids?
It seems that we are all living in a time of such contraction. Everything seems to be "less"...less time, less work, less money, less self esteem...
But I really do believe we will all come out of this. Today, we all survive. But can't we all thrive tomorrow? Now, in the midst of all of my spiritual "The Universe Provides" beliefs, I am also somewhat practical. What if "tomorrow" doesn't come soon enough to put even a single Christmas present under the tree for your kids?
Try logging on to FreeCycle.org. The idea of FreeCycle is to keep stuff out of landfills by using the "One man's trash is another man's treasure" philosophy. But it is not all trash! I have gotten some great stuff, I have also given some great stuff when I was getting ready to move in with Tom last spring.
You can register for your location, then you can post for things you want or things you have to give. You can also search for items you want...just in time to put a present under the tree.
Be Well,
Rev. Sherry
