Christmas Angel

There is a Christmas Angel!

Today a young man came by the group home for foster boys that I work at and delivered a wonderful gift to one of our boys. The young man was a skateboard designer and was applying for a job. Before he left he asked if  any of our boys liked to skateboard and left a brand new one to be given away.

We do have a sixteen year old, who loves to skateboard, but his broke about a month ago. He has been out pounding the pavement trying to get a job and early this week had been so down in the dumps he was in my office asking how I had gotten my job. He was suppossed to go on a home visit today, but had the date confused with tomorrow, so yet another let down. Earlier today, he was riding a "razor" scooter and took a nasty fall. You could see the level of dejection and sorrow beginning to envelop him.

When we gave him the skateboard, you could just see the cloud lift!  He could not believe that someone would just bring a board here without being prompted, and especially one that was his size! He just wanted to know who he "could hug" to say thank you. He literally skipped out of the office! So, to the Chirstmas Angel wherever you are...you have just made a child's day and given him back a little bit of belief that there is something very special about Christmas.  God Bless.
