(I started this post on December 19th and am just now getting around to finishing...it was one of several really neat things that happened over Christmas!! More Christmas pics and updates to follow!!)
We had the coolest thing happen to us a couple of days of go at the drive-thru of a local fast food restaurant. It was a busy day and the line in front of us was fairly long, so we placed our order and then eventually got up to the window for our turn to pay and get the food. When we pulled up the woman that was working the window said "The person that was in front of you said to tell you Merry Christmas and they paid for your lunch." I was speechless (that in and of itself was unbelievable!!). I saw the back of the van in front of us as they pulled away and it didn't belong to anyone that we know, so it was must have been a stranger, performing a random act of kindness.
It made such a big impression on us all. The kids were really struck by the fact that someone would do something so unselfish...something for which they would not even receive any recognition or thank you.
You know, this time of year we get so busy with accomplishing the Christmas tasks...baking, shopping, decorating, celebrating. My prayer for myself and for others is that in the midst of it all we don't lose sight of what is most important!!
