A little reminder to me!

I am getting excited for Christmas. I love this time of year and the spirit that comes with it! I know sometimes I get to busy and forget about the true meaning of Christmas. Ben has been a great example to me. He has helped me to refocus on the true meaning of Christmas and how we should give to others. The other day at the store, he saw a gentleman who looked like he was having a hard time and handed him some money. I know that man's day was brighten by Ben's small act of kindness. I know I need to do better and remember to serve others and recapture that Christmas spirit in my heart! Thanks Ben for that little reminder!
