Hot Topic #127:

During this busy season, here's your reminder to take a deep breath and remember the true spirit of the holidays: compassion and generosity. 
How do you like to show generosity this time of year?
  • I volunteer to feed the hungry
  • I give gifts to children who can't afford them
  • I invite people who are alone to come to my gathering
  • I make cookies/food for my neighbors
So many families are struggling this year - unemployment is high, it's hard to get a job, and the cost-of-living crisis is real.

But the truth is, you don't have to have a lot in order to be generous and compassionate to others.
What is your advice for someone who doesn't have money to give, but still wants to do acts of generosity this season?

Thank you for sharing!
