THE SPIRIT OF GIVING - Christmas Stockings 2008

THE SPIRIT OF GIVING never ceases to amaze me. More than 12 years ago I began collecting Christmas Stockings for the "Childrens Crisis Center" in Glendale. Initially it was a small token from our family to those whose lives have many challenges, we filled 40 stockings. It has since grown to hundreds of Christmas stockings every year. Take a look at the generousity of those who are blessed to those who have less. These stockings now bless the lives of children not only in Glendale but Mesa also. Thank you, thank you to our many generous friends and neighbors and even strangers who ask every year for more stockings to fill. And thank you to those who donate funds so that we can purchase the stockings, we used to sew the many hundreds we filled. Arthur, who runs the Glendale center says these stockings are the "cherry on top".
