Holiday Spirit

Okay - it's got me - the holiday bug. I'm sure a lot of my feelings of holiday happiness are brought on from the commerial aspect of Christmas and Thanksgiving, but in general I just love this time of year. I'm also feeling very blessed right now. Heavenly Father has blessed us with so many great things - I can't help but feel gratitude. I'm also realizing how important it is to give back and to find ways to help others. We were at the grocery store just last night and Chris overheard a family talking about how expensive their Thanksgiving dinner was going to be and somewhat worried over whether they'd be able to afford it. It just reminds you that there are always people who are in need in ways that maybe we aren't.

I plan to and encourage all of you to try to do something different or more this season to bless the lives of others! I hope to not just stop there but to continue trying to share the blessings.

I'd love to hear how you serve or give back to others and/or the community.
