One year we had a secrtary at the church that couldn't work , she had been a legal sec. in a very demanding office. Had a melt down needed a year off to regroup. Some how here disablity paper work got lost . so no check for a couple months , she was on the verge of losing here phone,which she needed to reach her support counciler. we didn't have much money either but my kids loved this gal and at the age of 12 and 10 said that instead of getting them christmas presants pay her bill anomously. I was so proud of them so we all went to pay it , the phone company was so inpressed with the story . The employees sent my kids a card and gift certificates to fun kid places. They took alot of the kids from our church with them to enjoy the fun. Ps The gal couldn't beleive some one paid the bill and never did find out who did it. In fact it was hard for me as she always saw me as her 2nd support person. In a meeting with the pastor one day he mused about the kindness done in the church,after the meeting we had to tell him the story. It became uncofortable the next sunday as he used it in his sermon thankfully no one knew who he was talking about. ( we were one of the poorer familys in the church but none of the richer familys would do anything with out being named for doing big flashy projects.)
It was such a great feeling for all of us as a family, I was so surprised by my kids I guess they had been listening to the things we had been trying to teach them .
I'm sure you made the ladies day Anna and Mark.
