"there's no rule that says you can't give stuff AND intangibles. most of my days have a mix of both. it is funny, though, how this Challenge often turns out to be quite different than we expected. good gives! Hugs, Dawn"

"it's great that you want to stretch yourself , giving wise. to me, that's one of the perks of reading others blogs - they give me ideas that i would not have thought of on my own. or perspectives, like Lubabat's idea of being…"

Christian Pope Campbell commented on Christian Pope Campbell's blog post Day 6

"That's probably a better idea! I'm going to try to clear my mind of all the "junk" I tend to carry around and think about all day, and instead try to be open to the opportunities presented to me today. Stay posted...."

Lubabat Scotland commented on Christian Pope Campbell's blog post Day 6

"OR you could be more "thought-less", about your gives. Meaning, think less about what you will give, and be more aware of the opportunities that arise spontaneoulsy where you can give. :)"

Lachlan commented on Christian Pope Campbell's blog post Day 5

"Congratulations Christian, that is an inspiring service. I think volunteers are the lifeblood of many a country- yet their efforts are often under-represented or taken for granted. Hats off to you! Cheers Lachlan."

"Heifer International is such a great cause. last year i gave my Dad a share of a goat for Christmas. it is so cool that your sons are fundraising for it. Hugs, Dawn"

Lubabat Scotland commented on Christian Pope Campbell's blog post Day 4

"I want to be giving all the time. Is that realistic?! Or at all possible?! I hope it's possible, because that's what I want too LOL. I think these difficult moments happen to show us where we blocks to achieving that goal so that we can…"

Dawn wwt commented on Christian Pope Campbell's blog post Day 4

"i can relate to your feeling angry and frustrated with your son. i get that way a lot with a couple of my kids. in my case, i think it is because they act like they are ENTITLED to get whatever they ask for and cop an attitude if i say no. (and…"

Day 8

Posted on June 2, 2009 at 6:13pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

I'm seeing a theme throughout my giving opportunities....

This morning, another friend called, upset that her husband was having a hard time at work and had received a pay cut. She was stressed and concerned. I gave the best encouragement, support and hope I could.

When I started this 29-Day Giving Challenge, I thought my "gives" would be more tangible. In fact, secretly, I was thinking I would be purging my house of "stuff." So much for that. I still have lots of stuff in… Continue

Day 7

I waited patiently all day for God to present me with a giving opportunity. I fell asleep around 10:30 p.m. still waiting. God is good. At 11:40 p.m., just in time, the opportunity came. My phone rang, waking me out of a sound sleep. It was a dear friend, very upset, driving around looking for her elderly father who hadn't returned home from going out earlier in the evening. I did the best giving I could -- offering her encouragement, hope and a prayer.

Fortunately, all is well and… Continue

Gave away another two bags of clothes today. Clothes my sons have outgrown. Gave them to my cousin who has a son younger than my boys. That was a pretty easy give. I'm thinking I need/want to step it up some this week. Be more thoughtful about my gives....

Day 5

Posted on May 30, 2009 at 7:57pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Today I celebrated a big cumulative "give." I retired from four years of volunteer service on my college's alumnae association executive board. I gave A LOT of my time over the last four years serving on this board, but I also received a lot as well. It was a rewarding experience, and reflecting on it reminded me how giving "time" is probably the best "give."

Day 4

I thought I was in a giving spirit this morning, but quickly turned sour when me oldest son asked me for $5 to buy more "stuff" at the school store. I became so angry and frustrated with him. I ended up giving him all of the $1 bills in my wallet -- 3 total. It was not good giving. Did it with a un-giving heart. :-( Have no idea why, then, I RECEIVED a totally unexpected gift from a dear friend across the country. She is a full-time grad student and she sent ME a $5 Starbucks gift card. Just… Continue
