Someone recently sent me one and shared this wonderful concept of *The Giving Plate*
No one likes to show up to a social gathering empty handed. After all, the more food the merrier!
The heartwarming tradition of The Giving Plate is that you bake a treat and present it to someone on the plate.
The recipient could be a friend, family member, neighbor, teacher or co-worker.
Once the treat is consumed, it’s time for the gift recipient to pay it forward by passing The Giving Plate to someone new.
The Giving Plate makes for an especially touching gift during the holidays & festivals.
The Giving Plate, I received contains this special message that explains the tradition in a beautiful poem.
*The Giving Plate*
_This plate belongs to everyone wherever it may go,_
_with each new sharing of its _gift, the love and blessings grow,_
_So fill it up and pass it on to_
_family and to friends,to start_
_the circle one more time,_
_Love’s journey never ends._
The journey of a giving plate never ends. It moves from house to house blessing everyone in its path – from friend to neighbor, parent to teacher and so on and so on. And each simple exchange warms hearts with the expression of genuine kindness, love and gratitude. What an amazing concept!
This Sunday, Let’s put a giving plate in motion – fill it with your favorite goodies and pass it to someone who could use a little encouragement and stay blessed forever.
