I find myself battling two things to blog about today. The problem lies in that the one topic that I feel very passionate about, is one that I feel makes me sound like a broken record. My kids know that I feel very strongly about it, as they are usually the ones to hear me rant. However,I hope that they also feel strongly about it, and perhaps one day they will have this passion for something too.
Please bear with me while I try to express this without driving anyone away. And please note that while I rant, I do recognize that I am not perfect either. There is no doubt that I could do more. This year, as with every year at this time, there is more awareness being raised and encouragement to donate food and Christmas things for those that are less fortunate. And believe me, I am in total agreement. But the problem as I see it, is that why does this issue only seem to be raised during the Christmas season? Those less fortunate need to eat all year round. I try to buy food bank donations every week, as it only costs me few extra dollars to support those less fortunate. So my hope is that when people make a donation, whether it is monetary or a food or gift donation, that it is done mindfully. And I hope that when you do, you think about the issue in the long term. It's great to help others, but it should be all the time, not just when we are expected to.
