Can't Even Afford to Ask

Tis the season to be jolly but apparently it's Still not the season use your Common Sense. I was entering the house late one morning last week and on my grandmother's TV was a news story that cause me to give it side eye. People are complaining about what children are wishing for on the Angel Tree. Go read about it HERE.

So, either givers are full of doubt or don't understand children. If they are skeptical, why are they giving? I think the Salvation Army does good research on families before putting up the Angel Tree list.

So, it has to be the latter. These givers don't understand that unfornunate children are Still children. They are going ask for the same things their fortunate peers are asking for. They are asking for same stuff they & their "fornunate" peers think is cool.

“I agree some of them are extravagant. This is what a child is asking for. So you can’t dictate what they want and don’t want,” said Tamara Lorenz

What did these givers expect to be on the list? PS4 Pro & Iphone 7 are the hottest things out. All the children want them. Why not? Their ads are everywhere. When ELF nails sets & glow-in-the-dark shoe laces are not being shown on the TV & internet all the time.

Children are going to ask for what is popular. They don't know how their peer's parents really got their child's PINK sweats. They see they have them and they now want some. It is for the givers to use common sense and buy what their wallet can afford. If your angel asked for a PS4 Pro, maybe buy a Nintendo Classic, another very coveted item for a fraction of the price.

So, Needy kids can't afford to ask for nice stuff?

That's what these complaints make it sound like. They should be able to. Same money that is spent on a bicycle can be spent on a basic smartwatch from Best Buy. Maybe just donate your money & let those with giver hearts & brains buy for the angels.

The Bible says "God loves a cheerful giver". Being judgemental about what the less fornunate should request for a gift is not so Jolly.

People let's give with Joyful hearts, alright!!! Happy Holidays!!!
