Showers of Blessings: 4. Giving

"Babies grow up so quickly." I have heard this mentioned often, I have seen it with many of my family members and friends, and now I am experiencing it. As much as baby has been blessed with many items he needs, there are equipment and clothes he will inevitably outgrow.

A few month ago, my husband (indirectly) introduced me to a "Free" donation group on Facebook. This county-wide group allows anyone to post items they have to give away, free for the taking! After joining the group, I have already seen folks post baby clothes, televisions, yard equipment, furniture and electronics (some working, some not) for free. Besides this, there are charitable organizations around my neighborhood that would be happy to accept gently used items so there is no lack of need in my community.  I already have a few things I will be donating as they will not be in use for much longer, so I am eager to pass the blessings forward.

Any aid you can get when having a baby is a blessing; but instead of hoarding baby items after their prime (or even your own items/clothes), why not donate them to others who are less fortunate? It is more blessed to give than to receive after all. Find your local charitable organizations and consider giving back to the community today.
