There is a family who’s only income is from the sale of Christmas Trees.
They grow the trees on their 24 acres of land.
Every year, they must plant new trees in order to replace those that are sold.
Three years ago, the owner was cutting down a tree for a customer, had a heart attack and died.
When one of our sons and daughter-in-law heard about this, they volunteered to help.
Ever since then, he dresses up like Santa and entertains the 150 kids who come with their parents to pick out a tree. She handles the cash register and some of their children also volunteer. It is hard, exhausting work.
I know it’s a complicated world, but some things are very simple.
The simplest truth is, “It is in giving that you receive!”
Reach out this holiday season and make someone’s load a little lighter.
If not today, when?
