When we handed him the bag of12, he lit up and thanked us with13eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for14his family might need, he burst into tears.
This has been a wonderful15for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can16! Things would have played out so17if I had simply said, "No, we really don't have18to give more." Stepping out not only helped a brother in19, it also gave my kids the20taste of helping others. It'll go a long way with them.
