| Wrapped and Ready |
I thought this picture might make you all smile. My coworkers
and I just finished sorting and wrapping gifts for our families. The bags and
two of the big boxes are full of groceries and toiletries. The other boxes are
all gifts. (And more are coming tonight from some of my Team Atomic teammates!)
We managed to get every gift on their wish lists and then some, plus at least
one outfit, hats, gloves, and scarves for each of them. In addition, we've
collected over $600 in Visa gift cards to divide between the families, which
should help them out with the myriad expenses that pop up or other needs we
couldn't meet.
I keep thinking about what Tom Mayer said at our board
meeting the other night--that asking people to give is actually offering them an
opportunity to grow. I guess that's why as people have been dropping these
items off, they've been thanking me at the same time. Amazing.
Anyway, just wanted to share. I hope this helps bring some joy
to these families; it certainly brought joy to us! I hope you have
a safe and wonderful Christmas, and a happy and prosperous new year.
XO,
Becky
