reminds me of something i did yesterday, there is 1 homeless man that i know of in my town. He is a vet, and he is really messed up in the head, but yet he is a very nice guy, he stays at a gas station and always greets people as they come and go. Well, out of the goodness of my heart, i saw him yesterday, and i pulled out my wallet and handed him 25 dollars. told him merry christmas.

my step father did the same thing for this guy last year, he bought him a 25 dollar gift card for fivestar. I wasnt worried about him buying booz with the money, because etown is dry. I thought about going thru my winter clothes and giving him the clothes that he could use more than i could. God bless him.

It's a tradition for the wife and myself to pick names off a angel tree each year. Most years we do 3 to 5 for some reason this year the wife picked up 6 tag's. Our picks this year ask for Hanna Montana stuff and little kid toys along with coat's hat's , shoes, and other clothes. Lots of children that are not going to have Christmas out there. May want to give it some thought for next year to do the same. The local school resource center put out the names ages and wish list on the Angel tree we picked off of this year at Curves where the wife and daughter go three times a week. You also find those Angel trees at most Wal-Marts. My wife can reek havoc on the clothes sales racks....:D

Awesome. Good thing you did there. And you know, doesn't matter where or what the money goes for. You gave it with an open mind and heart. You did it for all the right reasons. Unselfishness!! And for this, I say thanks to you and all that give.

The best folks do things like this and want no money, favor or publicity. This is the way Christ would have everybody do good works. What better time for such a great gift? Now it's your turn to pass it on. Merry Christmas (for 24 more minutes)
