Giving through Care

Giving is a lot of times what we dont do. May you think of it? Sometimes not. We are all struggling to get through each day and not always thinking of other people. Now there are many different types of ways you can give. Money, volunteering, your services to friends and family and even prayer. Im sure there are many more but those are the ones that come to mind right now for me. I want to give too. Sometimes I give to my church and other times I forget. I would like to become more constant in my giving and you may want to as well. Here are a few ways you can go about doing that.

1. Find a cause or person in your life that you want to support. This could be anything or anyone. Maybe not even a person you know but someone you heard of that needs a lot of help at the moment. Its really good to think outside of yourself and give to others. It could even be for the environment or maybe the sex trade to free those from it. My mind goes wild when I think of all the ways you can give. I would love for you to start thinking of ways that you can give back to society. Also, it doesnt matter if its your time or your money.

2. The next thing you want to do is decide if its going to be time or money that you are giving away or maybe even both. If you want, its good to maybe write down the pros and cons of both and maybe there are enough pros for both that you feel like you can support. Many people go their whole lives without giving back and I think it is very important to do so. One, you help others and two, you win! Winning that you feel the gratitude for giving. It always feels good to help someone or an organization. AND it doesnt matter how much you give when you start. You can gradually give more as you feel more comfortable giving. I want you to understand that the power of giving is huge. You will see once you start!

3. It helps to put aside money each paycheck that you are going to give if you try this route. It makes it easier not to forget and becomes more of a habit. When you think of how much you can give, what comes to your mind? Hopefully something! Its good to give back because there are a lot of people that need help in this world. Even if you are one of them, you can always find a way with your time to give back to society. With your time, there are so many volunteering options and so many people you can help out. If you feel like you dont have the money, please dont let that hold you back. You can always give your time and energy to a cause.

4. Lastly, give with an open heart. Dont expect anything in return except the good feeling you get when you take the time to give back. This is an exciting time in our history of the world, but at the same time many are not doing well and lets all do what we can to make this a happier place to be and live!
