Let this be the Christmas of Kindness. Let it be filled with family and friends, for sure, but also the season of reaching out. To an ailing sufferer. To someone who just needs a warm meal or a quiet place to lay their head. To a lonely senior, living out their days in isolation and with all they loved now gone. To an abandoned or neglected animal. But most of all, to our town's children. Our future. They need us! Our time or a listening ear. A hug or a kiss. This will bring so much more joy than any shiny new toy. Remember, true kindness is just doing it expecting nothing in return. The irony of that is you get tenfold back in unsolicited reward and we build our community one precious act of kindness at a time. May God bless each & every one of you who can do this in this season of giving...and kindness!
