A hug is a great gift – one size fits all, and it’s easy to exchange. ~Author Unknown

Our family has a long-standing tradition of giving to more than just our tribe. So, my grandsons and I went on a holiday shopping trip for gifts for underprivileged children. We returned with 50 huggable snowmen and 50 squeeze sports balls to the Central Dallas Ministry for their Christmas party. Here’s a photo of me, along with the dedicated staff members who keep the food bank running smoothly during these tough times.
Did you know that women and children make up 54% of the homeless population in Dallas? One-fourth of homeless Americans are children in homeless families. Children living in poverty are especially vulnerable to developmental delays, health risks, emotional trauma, and hunger.
As you finalize your holiday shopping this year, remember people outside your tribe. Walk your heels (and yes, your loafers too) to a store for some inexpensive but useful gifts. Your thoughtfulness could put a BIG smile on the face of a happy child.
Bless you,Petey
