One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy

I just returned from the grocery store where one of my favorite bell-ringers for Salvation Army works every year. He is such a pleasant man and I admire anyone who can stand in one place in the cold for so long.  It warms my heart to see those red kettles set up.  It gives us the chance to give something back to a place that does so much for people all year long.  It is easy to drop some change, or a few bills in the kettle and feels so good to know we can be part of the process. This is a painless way to help out those who so desperately need it! Smile at these wonderful bell-ringers! Buy them a cocoa or coffee. Make a ripple with them and see what happens.
