Hello Alvin
Well here is a story that definitely will put tears within ones eyes
You certainly did make me find one of the many ways one can show love for others just as Christ did.
Great entry.
Gert

Wonderful art work and words written here Alvin. Christmas time is a very happy time of the year celebrating the birth of Christ. His prescence on earth really uplifted many and his presence within our heart and soul will always be for ever.

Great Writing

Honeytree.

I like this, giving without receiving anything material in return. The gift you got in return was the Spirit of Christmas.

Luck on the contest.

Thank You My Friend,

Knowledge

I admired your drawing a parallel between current homelessness and that depicted in the bible, and at the same time recounting a demonstration of your faith. What a unique concept and one that you have woven into a terrific entry. Best wishes in the contest.

Hi Al, yes, this is what the spirit of Christmas is all about. Giving, rather than taking or receiving. But in the giving, we do the receiving.
Your time spent with these unfortunate and homeless people, and the spirit your brought into their lives, will come back to your many fold.
Good luck in the contest
Warmest regards
Marijke

Alvin, I love your story, and you've captured the spirit of Christmas--giving, especially to those less fortunate. As I said befoe, you are a great humanitarian.

You must have other people living there. You can't play two at once. Thanks for a great review.
