"We can't help everyone, but
everyone can help someone."
~ Ronald Reagan
On
Thanksgiving, a widower sitting next to me at Mass shared this story: As he was leaving Mass on a recent Sunday,
there was a table outside with volunteers asking for help with a project to buy
Christmas gifts for the children of prisoners.
They asked him if he wanted to participate and he wondered aloud how --
given that his wife had died less than a year before. Another parishioner overhead him. A widow herself, she told him that she would
buy the gift for him. A few days later, she
called to say that the gift was ready.
He added that it was beautifully wrapped.
