Even though our group was small, we were very generous. I didn't get to meet the family as the mom wanted Santa to bring the bicycle and other goodies. I'll never forget her tears of joy when she saw that not only had we given her a great Christmas for her children, but also included some pretty things for her as well. THAT is what Christmas means to me.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story. I'll forgive you for not including your traditional lesson.Lillian Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488638666900705015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515903861204137058.post-80874648436657506112010-12-21T16:11:04.175-06:002010-12-21T16:11:04.175-06:00So true!

I was a counselor with a youth group and the entire youth group went to this family's house and crowded in their living room. It was so wonderful to see those teenagers pour out love to the kids and adults. One of my favorite memories.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this!<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.com
