Some of you may have read my prior post about some neighbors who are having rough times.  I’m excited that I get to share a part II with you all, but shhhh….it also involves a secret, so don’t tell.

After I had posted my blog, I got a note from a friend on facebook.  This is someone I went to high school with, but who now lives out of state.  A state far, far away.  She said that she had some things that she’d like to send to these folks who are in need of some help and that it would include toys from her own boys as well as maybe even some things for the older sister whom I’d mentioned in the story. 

Not knowing my neighbor’s last names or any other information, I set about trying to think of a way to get the details needed so that this friend could get to work on her amazing gift.  I didn’t need to think long because the next day as I was returning from some errands, the neighbor peeked out of her door and yelled “We’ll be over tomorrow morning if that’s okay!”  It sure was, because when they arrived, I asked this neighbor to please spell her name, first and last, and give me their exact address (I didn’t know if they were upstairs or downstairs in their duplex), for my *wink wink* Christmas cards.

I quickly sent the info to my faraway friend and now have received confirmation that indeed, she and her family gathered and wrapped a box full of things for this struggling family and they will have anonymous Christmas presents delivered soon.

I am hopeful that I’m peeking out of my own window at just the right time to see this precious gift delivered.  I mean wow.  Just wow.  I’m blown away by the kindness and love that people are able to show relative strangers.  What an amazing, beautiful thing to do and what a fine display of the true meaning of the Christmas season.
