These stories are remarkable and we seem to get back much more than we ever give away - so let's be free with our giving.

One incident that I will never forget involves a gentleman who is a person who has been involved in the justice system and now he struggles to make ends meet. I'm involved in a ministry for people like this gentleman and we provide these folks with gifts at various times of the year. Last Christmas this amazing gentleman took his bag of gifts out onto the streets of Toronto and shared with those who had less than he and he has very little! And we think that we are there to help him when he has helped us to look at everything differently. Thanks again for reminding me of that important lesson.
