The Spirit of Giving
She was gone only a few moments, when they heard a sudden, loud bang! as the kitchen door blew open from a gust of freezing cold air that filled the little apartment. Giffird and Crystal ran through the darkness to investigate. They found their mother on her knees at the front door, sobbing and looking into a cardboard box.
Crystal rushed over to comfort her mother with a gentle little hug. Someone had delivered a box filled with food and four perfectly wrapped little gifts to their tiny front porch. Giffird ran to the window to see who had made such a wonderful delivery; all he could see was a single set of footprints left in the snow leading up to their front porch and the square-shaped impression from the box.
He turned to his mother and said, “Mommy, it was an Angel!” She looked up, her eyes were wet with tears, and said, “I know, Sweetie.” That day was special to Giffird, because he discovered the power of “The Spirit of Giving”. And it would have a lasting impact on Giffird for the rest of his life.
