Today Monica put me in charge of setting up the giving tree. The nursing club is sponsoring the tree for Share House. So I got to put ribbon on all the tags and attach them to our tree. Well I read each and every one of the tags. And it broke my heart.
We think of the homeless as those begging on the on ramps. Most of them just looking for money for drugs. I know this is true since my son has done that many many times. We forget about the families that are homeless.
And it was a big reminder today seeing all the requests for shoes and winter coats.
Makes me think it is time to share with the littles the things we can do for others. Start a tradition of more compassion. I used to do giving trees all the time. I don't know why I stopped or when. It is time to start again in some form.
