A Special Anniversary Gift


--by nila, posted Mar 27, 2009

My fiancee's birthday and his parents' wedding anniversary happens to be on the same day. I got him some expensive sports shoes, which I know he's been wanting for a long time.

I thought hard about what gift to get for his parents. In the past, I have gotten them things which they liked, but this time I wanted to do something different.  I decided to sponsor breakfast for 100 children at the children's home where I always go on behalf of them.  On that day, the children and staff said a prayer for my fiancee's parents and called them and wished them well. They were really surprised and happy.
