Life was a struggle, raising two teenagers as a single mom while working two part-time jobs and taking college courses at night. I was exhausted. The light at the end of the tunnel sometimes seemed very dim, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>I looked for a card or a note with the basket, filled to the brim with all sorts of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/post\/the-best-christmas-cookie-recipes\/\">holiday foodstuffs<\/a>. There was none. Had someone entered my name into a Salvation Army charity? The timing couldn\u2019t have been better. It would go a long way in tiding us over until my next paycheck.<\/p>\n<p>At that very moment I felt a ripple of guilt. Wasn\u2019t there someone else out there who needed it more? Yes, my kids and I were struggling, but my grandparents and Aunt Shirley, who was deaf, relied solely on social security and disability checks, sometimes pooling their resources to get by. At least I could always pick up extra hours at work. And when I finished my degree, things would improve a lot.<\/p>\n<p>My conscience won the debate. I drove to Grandma and Grandpa\u2019s little two-room house, just across the street from Aunt Shirley\u2019s. Grandma opened the door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMerry Christmas, Grandma!\u201d I said.<\/p>\n<p>Grandma was thrilled. \u201cOh thank you, Connie! We\u2019ll be able to have such a nice dinner this Sunday. This will really help us until our checks come. But what about you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll be fine,\u201d I said. After a short visit I excused myself. \u201cI still have lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/post\/a-prayer-for-household-chores\/\">chores<\/a>, so I should head back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the way home, thinking about Grandma\u2019s smile, I knew the basket had gone to the right place. But like Grandma said\u2026 what about <em>us<\/em>? I still worried about how I could afford to make Christmas special for my kids.<\/p>\n<p>Then I saw it in front of my house, in the same spot as before\u2014an identical Christmas basket, every bit as lovely as the first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where did the Christmas basket sitting on our front porch come from?
