Today, some of the NTEA crew delivered gifts and food to the family we adopted for the holidays. I'm touched that everyone at the NTEA cares so deeply. This family is in need, and with just a minimal effort, we have made their holiday very special. Even with 6 people delivering the items, it still took us a couple trips to and from the cars to unload all the goodies!
The mother cried when she thanked us. It was so heartwarming that my eyes began to mist, and I think it's safe to say that I'm not alone on that! It's moments like these when we know that there is more to the season. For this family, it wasn't the type of toys or clothing they received that matters; it's that they received it. It makes me truly thankful for what I have in life and gives me a better perspective for when I think of what I don't have.
I know this will sound like a timeless Christmas cliche, but I think the greatest gift of all is that we give of ourselves and take care of those in need.
Thanks for caring, thanks for sharing, and all that good stuff! :-D
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

it was truly heartwarming to see how happy the little kid was to see us and needless to say, it was truly touching to see mom getting all emotional! Good job talking about it.
