A project to remember

It's no longer Christmas, but one of my favorite service projects was one that started with my grandpa's Christmas present to me. Instead of a gift, he gave everyone in the family some cash he called "seed money." His hope was that everyone would find someone who needed an extra boost at Christmas. While we didn't have to, he encouraged everyone to add in some of their own money to make his gift go further.

Brightening a friend's day

Since I'm encouraging everyone to get involved in service, I thought I'd share a recent project of my own. After learning that one of my very best friends, D, was going through a rough patch, I knew I wanted to do something special for her. Since she lives several hours away I decided to send her a package.
