Last month we kicked off the holiday season with a blog about being thankful for our many blessings, especially for 20 years of Blue Wagon Group success.
So much has happened in our agency’s orbit in the last few weeks that I couldn’t help but draft another post about how important it is to live every day to the fullest. And give back when and where we can.
We all get so busy during the holidays that we can fail to put priority on the things in life that really matter. Not a gift, but the gift of being present with people we love. Not setting a perfect table, but setting an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued in our lives. Not listening to a perfect holiday concert, but being a listening ear to a friend that might need a safe, comforting space.
So, whether you choose to give your time, share your talent, or offer your service, pick a worthy cause or non-profit and begin giving back. Or step up your giving if you’re already a philanthropist.
Our time on this earth is something none of us should take for granted. I believe much is expected from those of us to whom much has been given. Whether the cause you choose is an animal shelter, a foster child outreach, a homeless ministry, a health or disability related project, or something quite different, just pick a charity and make the holidays the time you start supporting others.
For 2024, Blue Wagon continues its charitable support of organizations supporting women’s reproductive rights.
We wish peace and as much happiness as possible to you and those you love this holiday season.
