Giving Back...

In the US, we are constatntly seeing images in the media of people in need, who don't have all the necesities of life, muchless comforts that we enjoy on a daily basis. I'm always telling myself that someday when I have more money, more time, I'll do more... But recently when I spent the week with a great group of individuals who are all passionate about making a change, it reminded me that we need to create our someday. As humans put on the Earth by a God who calls us to love ALL people, we have an obligation to give to those who have not been given the same opportunities that we have been given. So for all 2009 weddings I will be giving a portion of what I make from each wedding and donating it to one of a few charities that are close to my heart. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting details on a different chariy about once a week. Each of these charities is near to my heart for a different reason, and although I know my contributions may be small in the grand scheme of things, in the end isn't it just important that I try? I encourage you to find causes that you connect with emotionally and whose purpose lines up with your own, then find out how you can make a difference. You can only be a better person for it.
