The Best Christmas Present

grandmoon — Sat, 20 Dec 2014 21:32:43 GMT

One of my clients came and wished me a happy Christmas and thanked me for all the help we had given him over the last few months. He when said if it wasn't for our help with food he wouldn't be alive today.

He admits that he had made so bad life style choices but with our support he is now being able to turn his life around.

What a great story. 🙂 It's what I think the Spirit of Christmas is really all about. It's just a "Thank You" or That Gesture that makes you happy for what you did. 🙂

Yes it is. I only volunteer at the local "Foodbank Agency" but I find it very rewarding.

Oh good for you Grandmoon, communities can only benefit from the work and time that people like you contribute so selflessly ❤️

It doesn't take a whole lot to make someone happy, as long as it comes from the heart.

You have a good heart grandmoon.

The Salvos, St Vinnies can always do with extra helpers. There a re a number of organisations that do a Xmas lunch for the needy and lonely in most states.

Volunteers are wonderful people, they give of their time and kindness often without much acknowledgement

but the reward is from the people you know you've helped to live another day a bit easier and not to feel so

isolated. Good for you grandmoon. .
