Christmas once again

Just when you think you have it made, with gifts all bought and cards
all sent out and the menu planned for the big day, something will happen
just as sure as it will be cold in December.
My friend and I usually help the church we belong to get things together
for families in our parish who are needy and some we hear about in our
community. One of these people gave us a gift list that would have taken
over a $1000 to fill, oh come now people be for real.They wanted electronics
and we don't consider that to be needy. Then we heard from a family who
had several children and what did they want?? Shoes!!! So help me I will
get those little fellas some shoes if it takes my last dime!!!Then my
friend called me, she had gone to a family we had helped at Thanksgiving
and was shocked to see they had nothing in their house. Well, she and I were
able to get some furniture and some blankets and some used clothes for
the children. My friend called me when she delivered the stuff we were able
to get at first, we are not thru with this yet, she called me with tears
she described how happy they were to get everything.Now this is the true
spirit of Christmas . If your in our neighborhood rest assured we will ask
you for help with those less fortunate then we are.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL I LOVE AND KNOW.
