21-49 The Giving Gift

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from December 7th

Are you in flux this year on what to give for Christmas? Are there shortages of products where you are? or do you simply have no idea what to give everyone? Here are some suggestions and ideas from me of what you can give this year, but mostly how you can step into caringness, kindness lovingness to you and all your care for.

Here in BC, Canada, we’ve witnessed the harsh reality of an overwhelmed landscape: whole towns threatened by rising waters, farms destroyed, livestock lost, vital roads and railways washed out — the very infrastructure we rely on for survival gone in the blink of an eye.

When the scale of suffering feels too big and it seems like there’s nothing we can do, it’s easy to feel helpless. But there is something we can do. We can stand with those in crisis — we can support organizations working on the ground. We can make donations in the names of our loved ones, turning our gift-giving into a powerful act of hope and solidarity.

By giving in this way, we help rebuild communities. We help provide shelter, food, care — and most importantly, love — to people who are feeling lost, frightened, lonely, or abandoned.

This Christmas — let your gifts not just be things wrapped in paper, but gifts of hope and compassion. Together, we can make a difference.

What is gifting it forward? It is gifting a donation to an organization in someone’s name and giving them that gift for Christmas, it becomes a gift of giving that keeps on giving. BOOKS IDEAS HERE and HERE

Goats make great gifts! When you buy a goat, sheep, donkey or chicken through Unwrapped, you are supporting Oxfam’s programs. These gifts are not just about food security – they’re also about ensuring communities have access to marketable products, like milk, wool or eggs. A single goat can create greater self- sufficiency, self-esteem and educational opportunities for recipients and their families. – See more at:
