Birthday Present ¶ 166

Birthday Present (Quarter Life Crisis) Quarter Life Crisis The world according to Sven-S. Porst « Coffee break • Main • In the paper » Birthday Present ¶ 166 words This morning Leif and me went shopping for a birthday present for Carola , who is having starting her quarter life crisis now as well. Well it was frustrating. We wanted to get a Rolodex file - but thought over 50 were a bit steep for a few bits of metal, plastic and paper. So, with time running out, we simply panicked. After lunch Stephie and me went on another trip and we got a nice large cooking knife. A very nice one indeed. Chopping vegetables is a lot of fun with it. In the shop we could try out the different knives on the salesperson’s lunch - which sort of compensated for the frustration. By now it seems, giving the knife was a good idea - so it was worth the hassle. We had a cake party this afternoon - I made a baked cheese cake and there were many other cakes as well. Later we ordered some pizza. Now I feel a bit sick.

Christmas Gift

Gift Alternatives Gift Alternatives Jesus would approve. We often buy gifts for people who are not in any real need of material things. Our love for that person though, needs to be expressed in some way. We can write a poem, draw a picture, or give a simple gift we've made. Here are some creative ideas that can help bring about the justice and peace Jesus lived and died for ... We might ask ourselves thequestion, "What would Jesus do?" What ways would Jesus encourage us tocelebrate his birthday? He gave everything he had to those in need. He livedand died for the poor and the powerless. He called his disciples to express theirgratitude for what they'd received by sharing what they had wtih others. So I've supplieda variety of links consistent with the kind of life Jesus lived. We can make adonation in the name of a person we'd ordinarily buy a gift for. In most cases, thegroup will even send a gift card. Many of us receive money for Christmas andBirthdays as well. We might see fit to use some of the money we receive forChristmas to make a donation. Here are a few links ... The Heifer Project Give the gift of a heifer, water buffalo, llama, goat,sheep, pig, trees, rabbits, bees, chicks, ducks or geese. Your donation will givesuch a gift to a needy family. A cow will provide milk for the need of the family,and the extra milk can be sold to help with education expenses, etc. Each familythat receives such a gift also promises the first born offspring to another needy familyin their area. That family promises the same, so the gift goes on giving! Fora larger gift, an "Ark," thirty families will be helped. For a smallergift, you could join with others to make your gift of an animal or some trees! TheHeifer Project will send a free gift card in your name as well! Bread for the World Bread for the World is a nationwide Christian movement that seeks justice for theworlds hungry people by lobbying our nation's decision-makers. Stop at their WebSite for more information. Why not give the gift of a membership? Student,Individual, Family and a variety of other memberships are available. Birthright Birthright provides caring, non-judgmental supportto girls and women who are distressed by an unplanned pregnancy.

And all Birthright services are free, absolutely confidential, andavailable to any woman regardless of age, race, creed, economic or marital status. You may wish to donate to Birthright International, or to a center near you. TheWeb Site above will help you find the center nearest you. Don't you think a donation would be a Christmasgift Jesus would approve of Catholic Relief Services Why not help the victims of Hurricane Mitch. In over 80 countries throughout Africa,Asia, Europe and Latin America, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) serves the poor byproviding emergency and long-term assistance based on need, not creed, race ornationality. CRS has earned its strong reputation for monitoring the human conditionand working with the poor to identify and implement solutions that work.

And CRSworks to strict standards of efficiency and accountability, with over 90% of support goingdirectly to programs in the field. Where there is hardship in the world, CatholicRelief Services is there. You can make a donation to help the victims of aparticular disaster as well. AmnestyInternational The Universal Declaration of HumanRights recognizes the inherant dignity and equal unalienable rights of all members of thehuman family as the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace throughout the world. Amnesty Internatioal stands up for human rights all over the world. It speaksout for prisoners as well, making an issue of false imprisonment and unjust treatment.

Food Pantries andLocal Charities There are many other wonderfulcharities as well. Perhaps you could contribute to an effort sponsored by your ownChurch, or the food pantry, home for unwed mothers or other worthy cause in your ownarea.
