Hope and Friendship Seeks Donations for Christmas Care Boxes

Advent is the time period of the four weeks prior to Christmas. It is the journey, the emergence, the anticipation and preparation of the arrival of Christmas Day- the celebration of the birth of Jesus.

It is a chance for us to ready ourselves, challenge ourselves to work on something that we want to better within or about ourselves so that when we arrive on Christmas Day we celebrate not only the celebration of the birth of Jesus but also the appreciation of waking on Christmas Day feeling accomplished on bettering ourselves.

What is it that you can work on?

What is the gift you can give yourself?

Is there something that you can better about yourself that will make you celebrate more jubilantly, wholeheartedly, having left a part of you in the past that was simply just weighing you down.

The preparation for Christmas should not just be about the present purchasing, the meal planning, the chaos of visits, parties, shelf elves, and stocking stuffers.

The journey toward Christmas Day is to be a personal journey shedding what was not of value to us and making more room for what is of value to us.

Twelve days is the perfect time to work on this. In twelve days we can identify, strategize, and implement a new practice, let go of a bad habit, improve on a quality that weighs us down, walk away from a situation or lifestyle that keeps us from being the person that we were created to be.

Twelve days. One positive step forward on the journey to the best gift we could want to receive: A emotionally, physically, and/or spiritually better self. No one else can give that to you and you will never regret giving yourself this gift.

What is the gift you want to give to you? I hope you’ll put that at the top of your Christmas list.

Twelve days to make one positive step that is all for and about you.

Hope and Friendship is collecting personal care, cleaning and paper products to create Care Boxes for many within our arm’s reach.

On Christmas Day, Hope and Friendship will be receiving cooked side dishes, desserts, veggies, salads, potato and pasta dishes, rolls/butter, etc. to create fully cooked dinners that will be delivered on Christmas Day.
