[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 704014, member: 18516"] Over the years our church has had various programs. I have participated in Angel Tree where you take a an angel off the tree that has the name of a child who's parent is in jail. You buy the gift for the child in the name of their jailed parent. This year we are doing blankets of hope. We purchase material to make a no sew blanket. Microfiber, two pieces, cut the edges and tie together. Very easy. We will be taking these to a local nursing home for residents that do not have family. We also support a local pregnancy center. We fill bags with things a new mom will need. We also do other service work through the year which I love. No matter how bad things can get there is always someone that needs help. This year I sent my son some money for Christmas. I have not done that in a several years. It felt good to do that but I also know that I have opened a door where he may think he can start asking for money again. I'm firm in that I will give to him for Christmas and birthday but that's it. Something else that I do on a regular basis is when I see someone with a Veteran's hat on, I approach them and say "I see from your hat that you are a Veteran and I would like to thank you for your service" It's amazing how they respond. I have had some that get teary eyed saying "it's so nice to know we are not forgotten" [/QUOTE]
