Sherry,
When you feel that you are NOT doing enough, just turn around and look at your son....you are doing the most important task ever, raising a child.
Each and every gesture is vital...the homeless on the street that we see and maybe buy them a lunch...giving a donation to a worthy cause, Ofen times it is the small quiet duties that mean so much and help others. Last week I went through my closet and anything I have not worn for 3 yrs. I packed up and called the women's shelter who came over and picked the cloths up. There are thousands of small duties that will give you the joy you are seeking. I sent a huge box of cookies over to the troops last month. I understand what you mean, you appreicate the blessings you are given and want to share them. Don't pressure yourself, maybe consider a small duty that will not tax you. Everything and anything you do is always meaningful....even if you just smile at someone who appears sad, you may make their day. Be kind to yourself not guilty.

Hugs,
Jean
