Giving Back
by Melissa
It’s Melissa from My Party Passion coming to your computer today for a special, from the heart, reminder….
To Give: to
present voluntarily and without expecting compensation: to bestow
To Believe: to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so.
WOW
just typing those words and definitions makes me well up inside with
emotion. (give me a moment, talk amongst yourselves..)
Ok,
back now….
Giving is
something that our family does year round. Whether we are giving to our church
or a local family in need of a foot forward, we are always mindful of giving. What
ways do you give to others? Your
community? Your family? I
encourage you to find ways to give, as a family or individual – trust me when I
say it will make a HUGE difference in your day, your week and your life. Most of the time it does not cost a cent to
give…what about a smile or holding the door open for someone next time you are
at a store. Or helping someone with their grocery’s…so many ways…so much time
to GIVE!
On
to the “B” word (and no not that B word…)
Believe. This can mean many different things to many
people when you see BELIEVE throughout the year. It can be BELIEVE in
Santa Claus or maybe it means BELIEVE
in Christ. Whatever the definition in
your book, it helps to BELIEVE in
something. IF NOTHING ELSE – BELIEVE in YOURSELF!
I
had fun using Laura’s MOD SNOWFLAKE collection to remind you to take the time this year to GIVE and BELIEVE!
Until
next time – Party On Friends!

Thanks. Well needed. For many years I have given back, lately I have cut back on giving in a big way, meaning volunteer hours. I need to give to my family and to myself. We still help out at events about once a month, and daily in being kind to each other.
ReplyDeleteAlways hard for us moms to remember to take care of ourselves and our families as we try to be everything to everybody at times. Glad you are finding that balance.
