I heard outside on Christmas Eve loud taps that brought me to my door. They had so little time to leave! And what was on our front porch floor? I looked around at all the snow, but there was not a soul in sight. How swiftly they had had to go to disappear into the night. I reached down for a box I saw. atop it was an envelop. The box so big inspired my awe and in me leapt a spark of hope. My spouse was jobless, and that year had been quite hard. Had someone known of our bad luck and growing fear? For in their gifts great love was shown. They’d brought us money, that would pay our bills that month and food to feed our kids great meals on Christmas day. God bless them for their gracious deed.
