It's always nice when someone says, 'I care.' But nothing beats the feeling you get when they simply show it.

We've occasionally struggled to make ends meet over the past 6 months, so I was grateful for what happened earlier this evening.

Somewhere between 8-9pm, I heard a knocking at the door. This was odd because we weren't expecting anyone.

I walked down the hall and approached the door cautiously in case of unexpected dodginess. (I didn't expect any dodginess, but I did expect unexpected dodginess. Unexpectedly, there was no dodginess. This took me by surprise).

I opened the door and looked around, but the mystery door-knocker had done a Harold Holt. There were three plastic Woolworths bags sitting by the doorstep. They were all full of groceries. One contained three kilos of good quality meat.

Rummaging through the contents I found a note. It began with a quote from the Bible and ended with four kisses and four hugs. There was no signature.

The donation was obviously made by a member (or members) of our local church community, but we have no idea who it might have been. Of course we asked all the right questions:


Mrs Stampede: 'Who do we know that's rich?' :confused:
Me: 'Sweets, compared to us, Blind Bob under the bridge is rich.' http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/5344/mfbookread.gif
Mrs Stampede: 'OK, who knows we're hard up?' http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3019/unsureb.gif
Me: 'Anyone with a brain?' http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/5928/readeb.gif


Humour aside, it's a wonderfully generous gift. We're counting our blessings tonight. :)







PS. It was Pup's 3rd birthday today (party tomorrow; photos to follow). :thumbup:
