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 children’s 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.
