A new baby is taking his first breaths of life with this new year at Madison this morning. This baby is called Charlie Clyde and he is perfect, has all of his life ahead of him, and he is anxious to learn and to grow. Cicely and Trevor are the center of this baby’s life. He loves them, and they will be the main people that he trusts and relies on potentially forever. His lips and nose come from Cicely, and the size of his feet and long fingers come from Trevor.

A Caring Heart

This Christmas season Madison employees 576 individuals. Our team includes individuals from all walks of life and beliefs.  As Christmas arrives co-workers collaborate and formulate plans together to Give.

Families in our community have been excellent receivers from generous giving. One may expect a doctor or a nurse to give more because they may have more. However, giving is a priority regardless of position.

One housekeeper wanted to give but had no money. He asked if he could work a shift and have the hospital donate the proceeds to a Christmas family, but we were not set up to do that. Eventually, the housekeeper saved some money to contribute. This housekeeper and others like him are some of the wealthiest in heart. A giving heart is filled with gratitude, joy, and abundance.

 

 

May each of us be lost in joy from giving more of ourselves this season. Merry Christmas!
