Give what you can.....

My kids are learning about the way the world REALLY works presently since the economy is spirialling out of control.  They have always had good hearts though and we are trying our best to give toys, clothes, and canned goods  to those more in need than ourselves.  By no means to to have the money to spare.  We are hurting as well from this economy, but are sacrificing some of our own food, gifts, and more, barely making ends meet, and to make sure someone else has something this holiday season that would otherwise have nothing. 

We are also donating to our wonderful teachers at Leading Edge Academy in Queen Creek, AZ, anything we can for their classrooms.  They work so hard all year long to make our children's futures brighter and the least we can do is to help them with thier supplies that they would have to shell out of their own pockets.  That's not right and my children understand this too. 

So, my children are learning that giving is better than receiving this holiday season and will be all the better for it in their own lives.........

Happy Holidays to all and remember the feeling of giving!  It's so worth the effort.
