A Season of Giving – First Thoughts

Greetings Dear Reader,

It troubles me greatly that as a society we have moved so far toward commercialism that shopping is more important than family time on Thanksgiving Day.  Although I understand the desire to save money we have made the hype more important than the spirit of giving.

It is too easy for the next few weeks to be consumed by desire and greed.  I intend to spend my time pondering what true giving is for me.  Please join me and I desire to know what giving means to you Dear Reader.

Today I will be Bell Ringing for the Salvation Army.  Please do not pass by the Red Kettles without giving something.   Every penny matters.  As we ponder giving together we must begin by remembering those who have urgent and burgeoning needs.  What you give matters so much more than what you possess.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn
