Count-Your-Many-Blessings

It has been frightfully cold out and I find myself ever thankful for a warm house, food and the comforts of home which in turn makes me think of those who are less fortunate. Throughout the year I see people with signs asking for help and I have found myself so many times wanting to help, but in this society of plastic, I must admit I rarely have cash on me.  About a month ago a friend shared an idea on Facebook for what are called, “Blessing Bags” that you can keep in your car in just such an instant.   To make them we just took gallon Ziplocs bags and filled them with: a bottle of water, a comb, trail mix, snack crackers, granola bars, travel size toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, soap and lotion, a pack of gum, chap stick, wet wipes and a note with some cash in it.  Now we just keep them in our cars and can hand them over if the need arises. My husband stopped and handed one to a man last week to a look of shock and then gratitude as the man gazed at the contents.  You can even just keep some envelopes in your glove box with a small amount of cash and a short note if you don’t want to worry with bulky bags.  Today I hope you are motivated to plan for the unexpected that in turn sows seeds of goodness and love in others that you will never see grow into hardy vines bearing fruit. Count your blessings and be a small blessing to others for tis’ the season and happy Monday.

About Kristi

Kristi Leeper is a lifelong lover of all things creative and crafty. She likes to touch things, dissect them, figure them out and maybe even reproduce them. Growing up in San Angelo, Texas she was exposed to small town values, but the world was always whispering in her ear to come out and play. Life has led her down a myriad of career paths such as a baker, licensed manicurist, florist, and a high school history teacher. The simple truth is she is good at all of these occupations and being good at a lot of things has served her well in life. She currently works as part-time as the Special Projects Manager for the Museum of the Southwest and for her husband keeping the books straight for the company he owns because he is simply a good boss and let’s her go to yoga whenever she wants.
