It's important to remember the true reason for the season: making memories with family and loved ones. Instead of dashing all the way: • Take time to refocus. No one can say "yes" to every event, so why should you? Build time into your schedule to quietly reflect or pray on your own or attend special church services as a family. • Savor the small moments. Find ways to personalize your holidays. Plan fun family activities, such as preparing a meal together, playing a board game, or preparing a holiday package for someone in need. Make a commitment to uphold these traditions for years to come. GIVE THANKS, SHARE GIFTS During this sacred season, when we reflect on family and friends and reach out to others with open hearts and generous spirits, the Children's Hospital of San Antonio Foundation is blessed to receive thoughtful donations from many friends. "People who have a spirit of abundance share what they have, little or much, so that others may receive care," says John Bel, President, Children's Hospital of San Antonio Foundation. "Every gift is significant when given with an open heart and willing hand. We are, and have been, richly blessed by so many good and generous friends. As a result, lives are saved and people return to good health. Our doctors, nurses, and caregivers appreciate this partnership of the community in our mission of service." Your donations are essential to creating a space of healing and hope for the children and families we serve. Until there are no children who need our help, we will continue to need yours.
