You give but little when you give of your possessions.  It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. 

 ~Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Today with Newman, we gave gifts and helped at a Christmas party for underprivileged children. I spent the entire night either on the floor coloring or chasing kids around while we threatened to tickle each other. I got to play with a bunch of 5 and 6 year olds, and I got to talk with a 9 year old girl. At the end of the night, I had three pictures made for me. It was such a blessing to spend Christmas time with these wonderful kids, and to make their Christmas a little better.
