now you see it…now you don’t
Giving changes everything!
Doesn’t it feel good to know the antique doll your mother gifted to you (as an adult - what the heck are YOU going to do with it?) went to a nine year old girl who won the Talent Contest at the After School Program.
The easel you couldn’t put together found it’s way to the group of teen engineer wanna-be’s as a class project.
A box of clothes that were stuffed in the garage cabinet are gobbled-up by the women coming out of the York County Jail.
Young women in crisis gained from your excess kitchen utensils.
Loved DVD’s/cd’s/VHS tapes are now enjoyed by many elders in the Senior Center.
Throw pillows and afghans help keep the kiddos cozy in the church, while the parents and guardians hold late night support meetings in the church.
Giving supports the heart and Soul.
When you Give, the atrophy of separation rebuilds and strengthens re-awakening a connection. Community energy then regenerates itself.
The weight of your stuff held you for so long, you weren’t even aware of the indifference.
You are now delighted. Thrilled to hear the stories of how you made such a difference in SO many lives.
Isn’t that worth the agony, pain and suffering of going through your stuff (much of it out of sight for a very long time.) I can make it so much FUN!!
I encourage, insist, conjole, wheedle, press, distract, prod, plead, teach, placate, and whisk it all away in the blink of an eye.
I'm all about witnessing your GIVING. It's my drug of choice.
My car, loaded to the brim somuchso I cannot see out of my mirrors, putts along to the agency of choice, GIVING, GIVING, GIVING on your behalf so you can spread your wealth to many others.
I know it feels good!
I can see the relief on your face - ripping off the stubborn bandaid of stored stuff was well worth the effort.
You look ten years younger (no, I don’t guarantee that!!)
Congrats!
Progress, not perfection, is the motivator.
Next!!
