I thought that this Christmas would be a sad one because of the people in my family, who have turned away from me. I was surprised to realize that I could feel so happy and so fulfilled by trying to help people who were so alone and afraid.
I have learned that there are so many who need and want to be cared about and they are the ones who appreciate and feel blessed with each of God’s gifts. If I can help in some small way, I along with them, feel blessed. I have come to know people who are not spoiled or jaded by their losses or situations. They have been given a gift along with their sadness because they know how to appreciate…the tiniest of gifts.
They are grateful for anything that comes their way. Gifts don’t have to be expensive or of a specific brand name for these people. They are the really sensitive and caring ones and they are the ones who help us to feel appreciated! I am so grateful for knowing these people and for having them be a part of my life!
