“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”

— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

My daughter helped me changed the reader board at her school. … I’m sure all the kids are planning to relax over the holidays.

As the holidays approach, many of us are planning vacation, family gatherings, shopping trips, Christmas presents, religious festivities, or how much money to donate to charity for this year’s tax write-off.

But it might be worth a few minutes of our time to plan how we will use our time to help others.

Because if you’re going to make a difference to someone this Christmas, this year, or in this life, making a plan will help turn that wish into reality.

A plan to help others may be among the best laid plans.

Yesterday’s gift of time … My daughter and I changed the reader board at her school. I’m sure she’s planning to have a good winter vacation.
