Under the Cover of The Snow Suit

The snowsuit was inspired by the announcement in my church that again this year a Christmas tree would be put up in the back of the church the following weekend. Sealed envelopes with the wishes from people in homeless shelters and outreach programs would serve as decorations again. Each year my wife and I would choose two from the tree. The outside of the envelope simply said, "A snowsuit, size 18 months to keep my child warm." How could I resist? I plucked the envelope off the tree before anyone else. 

After I purchased the snowsuit I decided to add a Christmas card with some cash, not enough to hurt my personal funds available but I hoped it would be enough to make a big difference in someone else's life at Christmas.

I hope, given the opportunity that you participate and give generously to those in need that reach out for help. Not just at Christmas but year round.
