Several years ago, there was a family who, like many today was truly struggling, around the holidays. My wife and I wanted to help, but we believed they would not accept our gift, seeing it as charity, rather than truly what it was; simply a gift. They were not used to accepting, it was there nature to be the ones giving, and even in their struggles they found the opportunity to help those around them. I decided to share a difficult period from my own past in hopes it would open the door.
