Subject: Christmas Giving

Christmas Joy: I am so proud of my wife, Kathy. Every year she organizes and collects money and toys for needy children and distributes them through her work at Loma Lynda Medical Center from family-names provided by the local Salvation Army. Loma Lynda Medical Center employees have big hearts and come through for the families year after year. Kathy always calls me afterward and tells me about the excitement of delivering the presents, all of which are hand-picked for the kids and parents. This year they selected two families: a single mom with three kids, and a single grand-father with two grand-children he is raising.

Kathy just called, a little happy-weepy as usual, and said they finished playing Santa and taking the presents around. They phoned the old veteran grandpa and told him they were just around the corner, and he excitedly said he would be standing on the curb in front of his single-wide motor home waving. When they drove around the corner he spotted them and was waving his arms—more like doing jumping-jacks--at them! He thought they would give the kids one or two presents, but when they kept unloading presents he asked if they were sure all those were for his grand-kids. When they said, yes, and that there were still more, and these are for you, he then broke down and started crying. And that my friends, brings tears to my old eyes, joy to my heart, and understanding of what Christmas giving is all about.

I just wanted to share this with you.
A Merrier Christmas to all...
