Years ago, I was a house parent for emotionally and physically abused youth. These were children with histories of abuse that were almost unthinkable. We all went to the grocery store to get the essentials, but as it was close to Christmas, several of the kids grabbed extra things to make into presents, unbe
knownst to me.
Well, when I got to the register, the house's $150 budget for food suddenly rang up as over $250. I asked the boys to put back their items are we could not afford it. Suddenly, a woman behind us handed the cashier a hundred dollar bill and said that no child should experience Christmas without a present. I thanked her profusely, and a few of the kids did too. It was a time that I was on the other end of the kindness counter.
