Our church is on the computer and we connect to our tv to see it live. I enjoy reading you post today.L.

Otherwise, our arms are full, gloves on and it is too difficult. The toy drive was a new donation for us this year but since we don't give gifts to our children and grands (until spring when we return from the ('virtual this year') south, we thought this was a good year to participate. Good post bringing home what is important.

This year I'm gifting to Good Shepherds. My daughter recently started working there as a program director. She told me of the dire needs of her community.

Wonderful idea, where you help people to a livelihood, instead of a one time gift. <br />There's such hardship here, hunger all around, so my main gift is $$ for the local food bank that they can spend on the immediate needs they know about.<br />I like your reaching out beyond your family.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-20665497399173490442020-12-16T13:01:42.998-05:002020-12-16T13:01:42.998-05:00Thank you for your giving spirit.
