The Kindness of a New Friend

While at the flea market, I spotted a table with Beanie Babies, 2 for a dollar. I called Tam over and said these will be perfect for Operation Christmas Child. The owner of the booth asked what we were talking about and we explained that Tam fills shoe boxes for children around the world. The owner said that the Beanies had belonged to her mom and she would be happy to know they went to a good cause. Then she picked up 3 sacks and donated every single toy on the table! 40 Beanies! Isn't it wonderful to know there are still angels among us?
