Yesterday’s JOY was attending the annual Blessings Bag party.
Each year around 20 of us get together and create 24 bags filled with necessities and treats for people experiencing home insecurity. Examples of what’s in a bag include hand sanitizer, toothbrush and paste, tea bags, hot chocolate, granola bars, socks, a toque, etc..
We all leave with one or two bags and keep them in our car for when we come across someone in need. It’s a feel good event.
The last two years has also included the fun Saran Wrap game ball. We laughed so hard. As you can see in the third photo I’m practically crying I’m laughing so hard! I ended up winning the grand prize. A beautiful necklace with a heart pendant at the end. The box says if you lead with love you lead the right way. I, of course, teared up.
The event always sparks feelings of JOY for me. It fills my heart to be doing a good deed. The true meaning of Christmas. It’s nice be around friends, new and old, some I only see once a year at this event. The laughter and celebration was much needed and I cane home with my cup filled right up.
Thank you Annette!
