As the days turn colder and days get shorter, there are lots of ways to be active in giving to others, even if you are experiencing physical limitations, financial constraints, or simply a lack of time.
Baking is a great way to do this!
So often, I think we get caught up in the grandiose, the pomp and circumstance, and the excess of it all, and we think that if we can’t give an enormous, outrageous gift, then we just surrender and give up trying at all.
Things that contain a personal touch, like something that is freshly made with love from your kitchen and with care from your own two hands, carry with them a tremendous value when it comes to having an impact on someone else.
A small gesture like this can say,”I was thinking of you”, or “You are special to me and my family”, in ways that a flat-screen TV or the latest Michael Kors product cannot.
So don’t wait for a special “day” or prearranged time — get in the kitchen and whip up a sweet surprise for a friend today! You are impacting lives around you!
