Donate Books To Kids This Christmas...and Beyond!

As a child, I read and read until my parents wouldn't let me stay up any later. I am so grateful my parents valued books and provided them for me.

I have been surfing the net trying to find a good site for donating books to, this Christmas and beyond. There are several, but this one struck me as the one I liked best.

"Reader to Reader is a non-profit organization that distributes books to schools and libraries in need". Simply put, that is what I liked best about it - that it reaches a multitude of kids with one donation.

This is one way to share your love of books, but there are many others...

This is awesome, thanks for posting this. My church has tons of books that need somewhere to go, so I will forward this to them. :)

Joy

I will never tire of the wind,
be it a cold winter blast
that takes me off guard
with it's bitterness,
or an exhilarating spring or
fall tempest that sweeps me away.
I get caught up in it every time,
...it's as if the wind is calling
my name to come out and play.
The trees become my cohorts,
...those gentle giants that sway
back and forth with delight,
as they gracefully bend to and
fro - they get caught up every time,
too, and are surely clapping their
hands in mirth.
In these moments, I am a
beautiful bird who was made for nothing more than ascending
to the heights where the currents await me. Joy.

For the beauty of the earth
