A year of giving...

I really felt I wanted to make this  year of extreme giving, one where we can bless a number of organizations.    We prayed has a family for a specific number.   We came up with the number and have picked  seven places to give to this coming year.    I'm not going to mention the number here, however we've written it down as one of our goals for 2012.

- Reeece's Rainbow
- socks to Stre*ts Alive
- to our two local foodbanks
- quilts
- to Not4Sale
- chickens to Compassion Cda come Christmas

I'm excited to see if we can meet the number by the end of 2012.   It certainly is a challenge although if anyone knows me, they know I love a good challenge.  As the year progresses I'll update.

It is nice to get your priorities straight and plan what giving you want to do this year. When I plan my budget, I alway try to set aside a certain amount to give every month. I do think it is important. I will be watching to see how you do.
