I wanted to thank all of you around the world for reading my blog and encouraging me. I trust that you have been encouraged. If you have not already done so, please provide your email so you are informed of updates. 
As I reflect on this Christmas season, the season of giving; I am reminded of having an attitude of gratitude that leads to gift giving year-round. God loved creation so much that God gave the ultimate gift, Jesus, which is the gift that gives all year. Just as God gave the gift that gives year-round, we should model God’s example in our daily lives. Our world is full of those waiting to see the love of God in action and all of us have the capacity to be a walking epistle to someone desperately in need of a gift – the gift of water, the gift of food, the gift of shelter, the gift of medicine, the gift of education, the simple gift of a smile and above all, the gift of love. Some of my recommendations to give back are (in no particular order - but I must say that I was impressed with the mission of both the Rainbow World Fund and Kiva):
www.unicef.org
www.universalgiving.org
www.ihfonline.org
www.kiva.org
www.charitynavigator.org
www.ccusa.org
www.rainbowfund.org
www.hrc.org
And of course, remember your local charities and houses of worship.
May God bless and keep you
