‘Tis the Season to Donate

Tis the Season to Donate

Today while watching football and browsing my Facebook feed, I came across an article called ‘Tis Better to Donate Than Accumulate by Joshua Becker.   It really struck a chord with me and I wanted to offer up a suggestion to all for the Holiday season. I honestly do not need anything for Christmas.  I don’t need to rush out and “buy” anything at all.  Being content breeds gratitude and happiness.

I fully admit to being a bit of an accumulator.  I’m not a hoarder, but I do have trouble throwing things away.  So I need to change my brain. I need to go through stuff with the idea of DONATION.   There are so many places to GIVE & DONATE in GAINESVILLE. Donating is a win-win situation.

Do I really need all those old board games in the closet?

Do I really need 8 blankets in the linen closet?

Do I really need to keep shoes & clothes that I will never wear again?

Do I really need to keep all those little-boy toys, since my son is now 21?

I think it’s time for me to do some sorting and donating. I think I will swing by a store and get some cardboard boxes and start my holiday mission to donate.  I will break my cycle of accumulation.  Sitting here writing this post, I know where to take full boxes of things to help others here in Gainesville.

Thanks Joshua for this article!
