BINGO !! Stroked 340. Until one lets the real reason for the season settle in their heart then it's possible to understand why it's not a good time of year for them. Overrever is onto one of the most satifying parts of the season but should make this same sort of effort all year long as i'm sure many of us do. JR, just one small question for ya. A lot of the newbys haven't been around here long enough to really know about your feelings toward children but for those of us that have been here awhile there is still some question as to whether you are as really hard hearted as you come on like. Here's a hypithetical situation perhaps you could answer for me if you will and above all no matter what your answer may be you are still loved. Here ya go.
You've parked your car in the lot in front of the busy store,let's call it Home Depot, and knowing the temps were a bit unbearable with a wind that is sending the already cold temps into minus digits, you've managed to be smart enough to grab your coat on the way out the door when you left home. You're headed for the front door and as you approach you spot what looks to be a typical wad of soiled trash placed next to the all familiar newspaper machine but as you get closer and begin to pass you hear an unfamiliar note of desperation at such a low soft tone, and knowing your the type that likes dogs you investigate further into what made that noise knowing full good and well that someone has left a poor little inocent puppy to freeze on the steps of Home Depot in hopes that someone would give it a good home. You ease toward the wadded up batch of newspapers and upon digging through the wad during you investigation, to your utter amazement you find a child shivering frantically. It's a very young girl, about 5 yrs old, with nothing on but a small pair of nasty sweat pants, a long sleeve shirt with an old dress pulled over her small chilled body. Oh, i almost forgot. She did have something on her feet. Somewhere she had found a old pair of brown jersy gloves and placed them over her feet with plastic bags over the gloves to keep them dry. Huddled there next to the newspaper machine still freezing with medium length matted hair, you remember your original mission was to get that Drill Doctor you were so badly in need of, and you then very rapidly cover the frozen child back up with the newspapers that were left that didnt blow away and head on in the store to continue your original quest. Now tell me you didn't. Everyday i ask my heavenly father to put me in that very situation and i know there are those in that very condition in our very neighborhoods that truley need our help. This along with the birth of Christ is the real meaning of Christmas. Still your friend.
