30 Ways YOU Can Give This Holiday Season

The weather is cooler, leaves are changing, and Halloween is over, which means it’s officially The Holiday Season! [Cue Christmas music.] When I think of the holidays, I think of family and friend get-togethers, eating good food, and GIVING. After all, isn’t that what the season is intended to be about?

[ReviewDisclaimer]

What better way to bring light, joy, and positivity to those around you, than by giving intentionally and with a good heart. In a challenging world, it’s important to place emphasis on someone other than ourselves and to try to be a light wherever we go.

 

 

There are many scriptures in the Bible that refer to giving, but one of my favorites is Proverbs 11:25: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

What is so awesome about giving is that when you do it with a pure heart, and for all the right reasons, you will also be blessed. Not only will you receive God’s blessings, but you will feel pretty wonderful too!  Nothing touches me more and puts me in a better mood than when I give to others, and I see how joyful they become.

 

 

November is a special month; one that gets many people excited for the holidays and brings the extra awareness and motivation to give.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving that began seven years ago to encourage individuals, communities, and organizations to celebrate generosity worldwide. I love the idea of #GivingTuesday because it brings awareness, and allows people the opportunity to not only give financially, but to give their time, gifts, and talents, in a fun and creative way.

This year, Giving Tuesday, will be held on November 27th. Hopefully, this movement will encourage and motivate all of us to practice giving year round.

 

 

The thought of bringing joy, positivity, encouragement, and meaning to others is critical in our world today. Don’t YOU want to be someone who brings positivity to the world, and puts a smile on someone’s face? The world needs more difference-makers!
