Best Way To Celebrate Christmas, Giving Out To The Less Priviledged.

Why I chose this community

I grew up in a small town called Dutse Alhaji in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja - Nigeria. Growing up here was like you came from everywhere, you would literary fit into everything, even with every twist in life. This place made me who I am, my life is a complete definition of the people in this settlement. I thought of a way to pay back, but how can I when most of the people that contributed to my life can not be found. The least I could do was give back to the community, widows and orphans.

It's always good to remember where you come from and celebrate it, to remember where you come from is part of where you are going. Remember that what you do now will come back to you in the future, life has a funny way of making you deal with what you make others go through.

Few elderly advice from the district head of the community.

Before reaching out to the less privileged, I had to see the District Head of the community - Chief James Shawo, who gladly gave my friends and I the opportunity to render help to the needy. He was so touched with the idea and promised his presence while we distribute the food items.

Less did I know that the Chief of Dutse Alhaji is a Humanitarian too, sharing cloths and money every year has become a habit to him. He gave us a full elaboration on how the humanitarian work is done, how God is willing to bless those who help, he also gave us Bible verses that explains "Giving". There was no other better way to celebrate Christmas.

We consider the advice of our elders not because they are always right, but because of the wisdom they have gleaned from being wrong. A child can ask a question that a wise or an old man cannot answer, but be silent when that old man is talking because he is answering another question you might likely ask.

Christmas like never

This was actually the best Christmas of my life, I have done a lot of giving in different occasions but not on a Christmas day, the smile on the faces of the widows and orphans gave me joy, It feels good that you can feed someone, I know the food items might not feed them for a long time, but it's better than not having food for a day.

It is the personal thoughtfulness, the warm human awareness, the reaching out of the self to one's fellow man that makes giving worthy of the Christmas spirit.
since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give. I think as you grow older, your Christmas list gets shorter, because the things you want, cannot be bought.

Mostly, a great appreciation to the Stemit platform, I won't have been able to touch lifes, but with the earnings from blogging on this Blockchain social media platform, I can put a smile on a sad face.

Also, some months ago, I had nothing to rejoice about, but now I can proudly help people. I will advice my followers and friends here to touch a life somewhere, not only by giving, there are different ways we can be of help to the community.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year.

Keep on smiling, writing and voting
