Gratitude Month 2025: Givers

I am a serious giver. I never thought of myself like that until someone said I am one, and I have not been able to unsee that about myself ever since. 

But this is not a I am thankful for myself type of entry. I want to express my thankfulness for all the people who send good things to thrift stores, donating to the public to help someone they do not know, instead of only giving to their friends and family. There is nothing wrong with giving only to friends and family—I know a few people who do this, and they are nice people. What I am talking about is what a difference it makes when we choose to pass down still useful items to bless people at random. This practice has blessed me more times than I can count, and I have seen it bless others immensely. 

So next time you want to give something away, consider throwing it to inspiration. I know I am thankful when I am the receiver, and I hope when I do the same, people are blessed and thankful for needs being met by the givers of the world.
