Tonight we volunteered at the Palmetto House, a residential facility for the homeless and a soup kitchen. It was a great experience.
When we first got there we joined a little family at the back of the room. The little boy, Dale, befriended Cannon. He instantly became Cannon's friend. He said, " I have a present for you" and brought Cannon a little dog from his apartment. Then he gave him a pudding.
A few minutes later...
"Does Cannon have a Christmas tree?"
"Yes"
"Well, I have something for him, an ornament. He can have it for his tree, because I do not have a tree".
I was so touched by this small child that has so little and was still willing to give. What will you give this holiday season?
