Can I make a suggestion?

Pick someone you love, someone in need, and buy them stuff they need for Christmas. You can even keep it anonymous.

Any time the wife and I have done this it’s been the greatest Christmas ever.

Trust me. It’s a blessing and what Christmas is about.

You don’t know how many times I’ve held back tears when I’ve helped someone at Christmas.

It’s good to help people whenever you can afford it, but there’s something about doing without extra stuff on Christmas just to help others.

Today a woman handed my wife some money, because of our hospital bills and the fact she missed a month of work.

I don’t help people and expect returns. It was hard to be on the receiving end, but I knew exactly how that woman felt.

It showed me that God cares for his children

I’ll end with this, the woman that gave my wife money was a woman we helped when her husband was in the hospital.

They almost lost their home when we stepped in and wanted to return the favor.

It is God’s work and it is marvelous in our eyes.
