    Default The Christmas spirit

    I was in a discount store today when a bunch of boys from a foster care center were at the checkout ahead of me. They seemed to be shopping for gifts for their brothers and sisters. They were apparently allowed to buy some candy with the small amounts of change they had left. When one of them seemed to have messed up his arithmetic and was a couple of dollars short on his gifts one of the other boys put down his candy and gave him that money. Then a couple more boys did the same thing. The Christmas spirit is alive in West Michigan.
    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    Fortunately stories and acts such as described overwhelm all the negatives the media likes to air this time of year. I wish one and all a glorious Christmas along with a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year!

    That's an awesome story hopefully repeated and unreported thousands of times each week. Back in the middle of May my 92 year old mother, who was living with my older sister in south Louisiana, told her wouldn't it be neat to go to sleep and wake up in heaven. A few days later that is exactly what happened. Then the second week in December we were rewarded with the most special thing that has happened in our family in the last 36 years. A grandchild, Katy Mae Parker, in my biased opinion the prettiest baby born this century.
