“The Spirit of Giving” is certainly alive in the blog I have just been directed to, it is truly inspiring. Georgia Gilliland Macad is a Canadian who writes from Kalinga, Philippines. (See my blogroll for the link)

Georgia is a midwife who is using her expertise to support the women of Kalinga and surrounding areas by providing pre-natal, delivery and post-partum care. Health education, spiritual encouragement and mobile midwifery services is also a part of the care she provides.

This is what I noticed, see if you agree. Look at her face, her smile…does that not look like someone who is living a purposeful life. With all that she must see in a day, a week, month or year, and the stories that will come from this incredible journey. Truly amazing vision!

Again our contributions can be large our small to our world. Our help, humanity and compassion extending a few feet to the person in front of us or across this planet to a village in the Philippines. It does not matter how far your reach is, as long as you don’t stop reaching out.
