'Tis the season and some of you are probably fed up with the whole thing. I, for one, love Christmas and love the decorations that go along with it. However, I may have hit my limit this year, making 40 miniature trees for Ronald McDonald House Charities and some for my favorite soup kitchen, POTS.
I've been doing some volunteer work at POTS (Part of the Solution) in the Bronx this year (check it out on Google) and all I can say is you get out of it what you put into it. It has been a very rewarding experience and I feel I am helping people who are in need, from me to them, with no middle man. If I bring in a coat I know one of these folks will be wearing it within the week. I wash the dishes from which they eat their meals. (Trying not to end these sentences with a preposition …)
I have to be careful because I have become so passionate about this cause and I don't want to come across as a born-again Christian. But, more on that. It amazes me that, in general, these folks have faith in God. I do not know how, given their circumstances, but often the blackboard posted on the wall often has something biblical on it and always something inspirational. My thought is to put up "Peace on Earth, good will toward men". In my mind that summarizes it all.
