Be a Friend Today

A friendship quilt hangs at a center in Nicaragua
as a symbol of friendship, the bonds were
made in person. Who will you make an effort to
 reach out in friendship to today?

I am skipping ahead a few days because it is fitting for us to be thinking about giving our gift of friendship. Thanksgiving is coming up in the United States and the "holiday" season is right on the heels of Thanksgiving and the stress is already building. This is supposed to be a time of THANKS and caring and for some reason has been morphed into something else...let's take back the season of friendship, caring and thanksgiving and simply give our own friendship to someone who may desperately need that more than any other gift we can buy. The angst is palatable, the stress is building and we can take charge and reduce that pain by reaching out. Just be a friend. Give your gift of friendship today.

100 Days of Giving is about hope, healing and simple gifts in times of difficulty and creating opportunities for each of us to have fun with unique ways of giving.

Each day of the 100 Days of Giving includes a daily reflection for you to consider. Included within the 100 days are interludes, bonus times to stop and reflect. While you are reflecting...be sure to remember to LIKE 100 Days of Giving on Facebook
