Christmas... it's the little things

So here I was sitting at home all alone feeling sad because it's christmas and I don't have a tree or presents or anyone to spend it with and then I get this email.

See, I got myself new dishes for christmas and so I had a full set of my old ones including a bunch of matching extras. So I decided to give them to someone who needed them. A young mother answered my ad and yesterday I delivered the dishes to her. Today I got this email.

Hello Ms.Elliott, this is micah the one who you gave the dishes to, i just wanted to thank you again for blessing me with the beautiful dish set, its truley more than i hoped for. So Thank you and you , your family and friends have a very Merry Christmas and holidays thereafter.

It definitely made me feel so much better that someone out there was helped by me, even if it was in a small way.

It really is about what you give, not what you get.
