A Lesson in Sharing
I have always been an emphatic believer in that jolly old elf who brings gifts to good
boys and girls during the Christmas season. This incident took place when I was about
nine or ten years of age and still wrapped in childhood innocence.
A new family had moved into a rented home in our neighborhood just before the
holidays. They had experienced some financial difficulties and had very few material
possessions. My mother and a few friends learned of their need and decided to provide
them with a little Christmas blessing.
One sister was given the assignment of being the diversion. She invited the new family
to her home for dinner. The other conspirators were provided with a key to their home
and about one hour to work their magic. By dividing the work, they could complete the
task in the allotted time. Even though I was quite young, I was permitted to accompany
my mother and the other ladies. I remember that as we entered the home, it seemed
empty, cold and dark.
We set to work. A couple of sisters had the opportunity of stocking the kitchen. They
began placing canned goods in the cupboards and perishable items in the refrigerator.
Meanwhile, we began in the living-room. First we set up a large Christmas tree. Lights,
balls and tinsel magically appeared to decorate the tree. They looked very familiar.
Mother spread a tree skirt that she had made for our family under the tree and we
placed our wrapped gifts on top.
Within that hour the kitchen was stocked, the living-room was decorated and presents
layed out. We slipped out into the dark winter night, leaving behind the lights glowing
on the tree.
I longed to see the childrens faces when they returned home that night. But that would
spoil the miracle as they would learn who their benefactors had been.
I have thought often of this and other experiences of my childhood. My parents taught
charity and other gospel principles more by their actions than the spoken word.
