On Thanksgiving, during our celebration, a family member suffered a medical event and 911 was called. In my family and present at the time, were two people trained for responding to a crisis, (one a law enforcement officer and one a nurse). Also present was a long time school teacher who turned out to be the dispatched EMT's fifth grade teacher. I watched from the sidelines as they all did what they were trained to do. I watched as they all contributed their own unique gif

The season of giving will soon be upon us. Stores have Christmas music playing and the ads have started coming at us full force. Some people have it all "wrapped up" already while others wait to the last minute......but however you do it, the season of giving will soon be upon us. But wait a minute, aren't we always in the season of giving? We give of our time, our resources, our talents, and mostly of ourselves. We do it daily in some way or another. We are all givers.
