A Christmas Story

Two women were aware of a financially struggling family.

They decided to act, to make a difference during Christmas.

They did this act of compassion on their own volition – no one, no organization prompted them to act.

They provided gifts for each member, and late on Christmas Eve secretly delivered the gifts to the parents.

Family requests were simple: one child wanted a toothbrush; one wanted a towel; one wanted a pillow ... children considering necessities as a desired Christmas gift.

A need so profound it is hard for most to understand ... to comprehend.

The women provided more than what was asked by adding luxuries like a toy. clothing and a doll.

What they really provided was hope, love and compassion....what the family really received was the knowledge that they are valued... that God, working through the act of a stranger, cares about them

“God, Working through an Act of a Stranger, Cares About Them.”
