Christmas is a time of celebration, and often, to our shame, material and consumer excess. We give gifts to each other for the best of reasons, but too often those gifts are material things that our loved ones really don’t need.

Indeed.. http://news.lwccn.com/2021/01/quite-enough-indeed/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=quite-enough-indeed Mon, 04 Jan 2021 11:50:25 +0000 http://news.lwccn.com/?p=817 Our major gift-giving season has passed, but many of us will still be needing to find ways to express appreciation for others in our lives throughout the year – birthdays, anniversaries, graduations.

Enjoy, and bookmark this link so you’ll be ready the next time you need a gift!
