I Received a Gift, But Wanted to Give More

At the iGet2Give Christmas party I “won” a scrapbook/craft carrier with some
office supplies in it. My sister-in-law’s husband has been without a job for
a few weeks and she only babysits two days a week. They have almost no money
and a 4 year old and a 7month old. I knew that whatever gift I won needed to
go to her. Before the event I prayed that I would win something that she
needed. I was thrilled to win the scrapbook carrier as she loves crafts and
could definitely use the office supplies in it. I knew I wanted to give
more. After asking her what she needed, she said nothing. I bought her a big
package of diapers and a big pack of wipes and filled up the carrier. She
came to visit that weekend and I gave it to her along with a check for $50.
She was absolutely overjoyed with what I gave her. She had been running out
of diapers and wipes. I told her to pass on the giving to someone else. Even
though what I gave was in the family, I knew she was truly in need. I have
been truly moved and changed by giving. My heart is now broken for people in
need. Look around, they are all around us. –Julie
