It is what some call "the season of giving" and just like many, I am blessed beyond measure. With that comfort, my heart is constantly feeling empathy & compassion for those who are hurting, lost and dealing with difficulties. I get these tsunami strong feelings of "WHAT CAN I DO???" and my mind is constantly wanting, wondering, thinking and ready to do something to help.
As you know, this past year, I have been "moved" to react and respond to others through sharing my faith, supporting The Jessie Rees Foundation & HER cause that has become part of my heart and communicating, sharing and teaching others through my art. I knew there was more...I just was not sure what it was and on Wednesday of this week, I heard the phrase/question "Care or Cure?"
It was the question Jessie's Mommy & Daddy asked her as they created the very first jars of joy..
Part of the purpose of The Jessie Rees Foundation is to provide CARE. Jessie's wish was to care for the children that were battleing cancer and the question/concept & thought
"Care or Cure" made me realize another part of my purpose, made me realize why I am so drawn to her foundation and why I feel so proud to be part of the NEGU team.
While I can not cure the hurts, illness, and difficulties of others, I can support others with care...
Through Prayer
Through Reminders
Through Example
Through Connection
Through Art
Through Love
Through Support
and so can you!
We all need to practice the "Season of Giving" each day...not just in November & December and I am learning more and more about myself, about the purpose of my life and how to help others..all through the very short life of a sweet girl named Jessie.
So what can you do to help?
