Seems almost alien in today’s society.
That is one of the nicest things I’ve ever heard of. What a wonderful thing to do.
Yesterday my daughter and I shopped for a couple with four daughters, ages 6 to 11, that we know. They told the girls they were sorry but there was just no money for much Christmas this year. What a blessing that shopping was, 4 dolls, 4 little girl watches with sparkles on them, 4 little girl umbrellas with animals on them, little shirts for school, 1 ez bake oven and 1 kareoke box. The mother cried when we called her. We put the stuff in her trunk for her to wrap.
How cool is that? What a great idea. I remember when the only way I could buy a coat in cold NY state was by layaway. That was back in the ‘60s. Sometimes you just forget...
This is a great story and what I like about it too is they are helping people who are working to help themselves.
Wecan’t do anything this year either, but next year we will.
Note to liberals: this is the way Jesus intended for us to care for the poor.It’s personal. It stretches and blesses the goier and the receiver in ways the government can never match. Think about it.
Great nearly free publicity for K-mart. And now there will customers who show up hoping someone else will pay for their TV. But apparently there is no similar largess at Wal-mart.

I certainly wouldn’t pretend that my actions are as nice as this, but I anonymously pick up bar tabs during the holidays. Seriously.
Not fun for the store management (as trying to manage layaway accounts, payments, and making sure only the right party picks up the layaway are major pains in the arse). But touching and heartwarming nonetheless.
He has contempt for anything that is not run by Commies.
I am SO DOING THIS when I get done with work today!!!
