Grateful Giving – December 2020 Acrostic

GRATEFUL GIVING – The holiday season is ahead and is celebrated worldwide with gift-giving. Many different faiths celebrate this holy season with a spirit of gratitude and love and diversity. The gift of relationships goes further than the physical presents we receive during the holidays. We can even start small – by 1st practicing within our families in the spirit of “Grateful Parenting.” And from that genuine foundation – we can expand Grateful Leadership concepts to our friends and work associates & beyond.
