As I said yesterday, I've not been totally in the Christmas spirit, but today, something happened to make me feel a lot better.
At Woodbourne, we've been working with Best Buy for a few months on some of their community service projects. The staff members of two stores came and painted all of the children's rooms in September. One of the managers told her mother about our place and the children there.
In September, the mother began making quilts for our children and just delivered them to us. There were more than 30 quilts, and she told me that she cut out more than 6,500 6x6 inch squares of fabric to make them. Not only that, she flew to Baltimore from Georgia to deliver them!
I have also been overwhelmed with the generosity of some of my readers. Thank you so very much. These lovely acts of kindness are what the season is all about.
That is awesome and you're right, things like that are what Christmas is all about :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! That really restores one's faith in mankind.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better to sleep under than a quilt made with love. Thanks for sharing the story - we can all use a little faith-in-humanity reminder every now and then.
ReplyDeleteThat's so great to hear - it's awesome to hear stuff like that!
