My husband and I are hardworking folks who by the grace of God are in of need very little.
We have performed random acts of kindness from time to time, but we have not been aware of many bestowed upon us until last night.
Two people we vaguely know knocked at the door and presented us with a holiday fruit basket. It wasn't much, just a small basket of mixed fruit and nuts.
Taken quite by surprise, we thanked the couple, placed the basket on the table next to the door and went back to our respective chairs to watch television.
My eyes kept going back to the fruit basket. What a kind, thoughtful thing to do. What had made those people give us a gift? It seemed strange that anyone would think of us. Didn't they have a party to attend or gifts to wrap?
Tears came into my eyes. Everyone is needy from time to time and this gift was a way to remind us that others do care.
Every gift, no matter how small, makes a huge impact on the recipient.
Suddenly my world seems much brighter!

I just spotted this, and wondered whether anyone from Answers will be there. (I will not, but I cheer on partying as an art form.)
