March 15 - Give in creative ways

Give in Creative Ways

I spent the weekend at my brother, Les’s house for that State A Girls Basketball tournament. While at his house we talked about the economy and how the manufacturing industry in Watertown, SD has been impacted. Several people have lost jobs, had their salary or hours reduced. My bother has been impacted as he has had to lay off employees and take a salary reduction himself.

He realizes that when the times get difficult, it is time to give with all your heart. He looked for a creative way that he could give to others in need. He went back to a skill that he learned on the farm --- Butchering. Les has purchased ten pigs over the winter and processed them himself, to give away to families in need. This is not only a gift of food but a gift of labor to help those less fortunate.

What creative ways can you help others in need?

Blessings
Robin
