Cheryl Jackson speaks to students about giving

Last week I had the honor of speaking to a class at AW Spence school in Dallas,Texas. It just so happened that the principle was in the classroom and she invited me to come back to the school to speak all of the students.

On Friday, The Giving Movement will roll back up to the school and don't be surpised with what we will give to the students. I will have the honor of speaking to 1200 students. Since I will be talking about giving, living and mentorship please pray that I say something to impact just one person.

The photos will tell the story.

Oprah's Big Give..tonights episode

As I sit here watching the Big Give, I had to type my thoughts. Seven people were given 100,000 dollars to make a difference in Miami and I'm thinking how hard can this be. EVERY city has homeless shelters, battered centers and people in need. Every city has a east and west side. When giving is in your heart you KNOW what to do. If I was given 100k I wouldn't have to look far regardless of the city I was in. I would pay 10k toward a food pantry for food. I would pay the rent/mortgage for a single parent or tenants in a low income area. I would go to a bus stop and interview people and buy a car for the person that needed it the most. I would visit the battered womens shelter and spend $500.00 on them. I would have picked up the Miami newspaper and ripped stories straight from the newspaper to help people.
I just don't understand why people are having such a hard time with this challenge. I am amazed Now a lady is giving away flowers, wow. Go to a expensive restaurant and purchase meals for the rich people and challenge them to give back too. Oh my goodness, what an opportunity of a lifetime they received.
I hope they cherished that moment.
