Kindness and Joy at Christmas

“Christmas is joy, religious joy, an inner joy of light and peace.”
~ Pope Francis

I love this time of year – for many reasons.  One of them is the joy that people feel when they are able to help others, to give, to be kind…  An older woman I know collected money from friends and added that to what she was planning on spending to purchase Christmas toys for less fortunate children in her community.  She spent a good portion of her weekend raising the money and buying the toys, and her heart was filled with joy at having been able to give more than she imagined.
