An amazing eight year old boy was so concerned that his neighbour was not going to have a Christmas at their house that when he went shopping with his mother she was surprised to see him not shopping for toys and things a normal eight year old would be looking at. When she questioned him as to why he replied that he was very concerned about the children next door not having anything under their tree.
He also told his mother he wanted to give his X-box to the boy next door on Christmas morning along with some of his toys to their other children. What he did not know till later was that his mother was so touched by her son’s feelings that she immediately gathered a few toys and told her son not to worry it was taken care of. Santa surely will be recognizing this young man’s generosity.
Remember: Don’t let yesterday take up too much of tomorrow.
