Yesterday I wanted to show appreciation to a family in our neighborhood who is wonderful example of faith, love, and humility. Three members of the family of six currently have cancer. Two of those are the parents. A couple of teenagers in the neighborhood and I made a simple little Christmas ornament to show our gratitude. When we gave this simple gift to them they gave each one of us a tin of cookies to say thank you and Merry Christmas. They proceeded to inspire us by showing their selflessness. One of the teens I was with is going in for surgery today, and they told him they would make dinner for his family. They then offered to bring dinner to the rest of our families. I know this family is struggling financially as they have many expensive treatments for all their cancer. Yet they continue to give and have the most beautiful attitude.
Lets all learn to really give. Giving is more than gifts, it is an attitude, one that is tangibly felt by the receiver.
