The Gifts That Keep On Giving

They have little to call their own; yet their God’s stays right by their side. We have plenty, nothing missing, but parent strings have been untied. Apron strings, the cords that bind us to a sense of being needed. Quite in secret on occasion our daughter’s fields we have seeded. A twenty left in coat or purse; sizable check sent in a card. Unsigned of course, but Jesus knows their lives will not be quite so hard. One surprise we devised to sneak underneath their Christmas tree - a substantial voucher from Walmart for getting gas or groceries. We were amazed on Christmas day what we gave was now complete - a generous gift card for Kroger's we found taped to our car's front seat.
