Christmas to remember......
Pa never had much compassion for the lazy or those who squandered their
means and then never had enough for the necessities. But for those who
were genuinely in need, his heart was as big as all outdoors. It was
from him that I learned the greatest joy in life comes from giving, not
from receiving.
It was Christmas Eve 1881. I was fifteen years old and feeling like the
world had caved in on me because there just hadn't been enough money to
buy me the rifle that I'd wanted for Christmas. We did the chores early
that night for some reason. I just figured Pa wanted a little extra
time so we could read in the Bible.
After supper was over I took my boots off and stretched out in front of
the fireplace and waited for Pa to get down the old Bible. I was still
feeling sorry for myself and, to be honest, I wasn't in much of a mood
to read Scriptures. But Pa didn't get the Bible; instead he bundled up
again and went outside. I couldn't figure it out because we had already
done all the chores. I didn't worry about it long though; I was too
busy wallowing in self-pity.
Soon Pa came back in. It was a cold clear night out and there was ice
in his beard. "Come on, Matt," he said. "Bundle up good, it's cold out
tonight." I was really upset then. Not only wasn't I getting the rifle
for Christmas, now Pa was dragging me out in the cold, and for
no earthly reason that I could see. We'd already done all the chores,
and I couldn't think of anything else that needed doing, especially
not on a night like this. But I knew Pa was not very patient at one
dragging one's feet when he'd told them to do something, so I got up and
put my boots back on and got my cap, coat, and mittens. Ma gave me a
mysterious smile as I opened the door to leave the house. Something was
up, but I didn't know what.
Outside, I became even more dismayed. There in front of the house was
the work team, already hitched to the big sled. Whatever it was we were
going to do wasn't going to be a short, quick, little job. I could tell.
We never hitched up this sled unless we were going to haul a big
load.
Pa was already up on the seat, reins in hand. I reluctantly climbed up
beside him. The cold was already biting at me. I wasn't happy. When I
was on, Pa pulled the sled around the house and stopped in front of the
woodshed. He got off and I followed. "I think we'll put on the high
sideboards," he said. "Here, help me." The high sideboards! It had been
a bigger job than I wanted to do with just the low sideboards on, but
whatever it was we were going to do would be a lot bigger with the high
sideboards on.
After we had exchanged the sideboards, Pa went into the woodshed and
came out with an armload of wood---the wood I'd spent all summer hauling
down from the mountain, and then all Fall sawing into blocks
and splitting. What was he doing? Finally I said something. "Pa," I
asked, "what are you doing?" You been by the Widow Jensen's lately?" he
asked. The Widow Jensen lived about two miles down the road. Her
husband had died a year or so before and left her with three children,
the oldest being eight. Sure, I'd been by, but so what? "Yeah," I said,
"Why?" "I rode by just today," Pa said. "Little Jakey was out digging
around in the woodpile trying to find a few chips. They're out of wood,
Matt."
That was all he said and then he turned and went back into the woodshed
for another armload of wood. I followed him. We loaded the sled so high
that I began to wonder if the horses would be able to pull it. Finally,
Pa called a halt to our loading, then we went to the smoke house and Pa
took down a big ham and a side of bacon. He handed them to me and told
me to put them in the sled and wait.
When he returned he was carrying a sack of flour over his right
shoulder and a smaller sack of something in his left hand. "What's in
the little sack?" I asked. "Shoes. They're out of shoes. Little Jake
just had gunnysacks wrapped around his feet when he was out in the
woodpile this morning. I got the children a little candy too. It just
wouldn't be Christmas without a little candy."
We rode the two miles to Widow Jensen's pretty much in silence. I tried
to think through what Pa was doing. We didn't have much by worldly
standards. Of course, we did have a big woodpile, though most of what
was left now was still in the form of logs that I would have to saw
into blocks and split before we could use it. We also had meat and
flour, so we could spare that, but I knew we didn't have any money, so
why was Pa buying them shoes and candy?
Really, why was he doing any of this? Widow Jensen had closer neighbors
than us; it shouldn't have been our concern. We came in from the blind
side of the Jensen house and unloaded the wood as quietly as possible,
and then we took the meat and flour and shoes to the door. We knocked.
The door opened a crack and a timid voice said, "Who is it?" "Lucas
Miles, Ma'am, and my son, Matt. Could we come in for a bit?"
Widow Jensen opened the door and let us in. She had a blanket wrapped
around her shoulders. The children were wrapped in another and were
sitting in front of the fireplace by a very small fire that hardly gave
off any heat at all. Widow Jensen fumbled with a match and finally lit
the lamp. "We brought you a few things, Ma'am," Pa said and set down
the sack of flour. I put the meat on the table. Then Pa handed her the
sack that had the shoes in it.
She opened it hesitantly and took the shoes out one pair at a time.
There was a pair for her and one for each of the children---sturdy
shoes, the best, shoes that would last. I watched her carefully. She
bit her lower lip to keep it from trembling and then tears filled her
eyes and started running down her cheeks. She looked up at Pa like she
wanted to say something, but it wouldn't come out.
"We brought a load of wood too, Ma'am," Pa said. He turned to me and
said, "Matt, go bring in enough to last awhile. Let's get that fire up
to size and heat this place up." I wasn't the same person when I went
back out to bring in the wood. I had a big lump in my throat and as
much as I hate to admit it, there were tears in my eyes too.
In my mind I kept seeing those three kids huddled around the fireplace
and their mother standing there with tears running down her cheeks with
so much gratitude in her heart that she couldn't speak. My heart
swelled within me and a joy that I'd never known before, filled my soul.
I had given at Christmas many times before, but never when it had
made so much difference. I could see we were literally saving the lives
of these people.
I soon had the fire blazing and everyone's spirits soared. The kids
started giggling when Pa handed them each a piece of candy and Widow
Jensen looked on with a smile that probably hadn't crossed her face for
a long time. She finally turned to us. "God bless you," she said. "I
know the Lord has sent you. The children and I have been praying that
he would send one of his angels to spare us."
In spite of myself, the lump returned to my throat and the tears welled
up in my eyes again. I'd never thought of Pa in those exact terms
before, but after Widow Jensen mentioned it I could see that it was
probably true. I was sure that a better man than Pa had never walked
the earth. I started remembering all the times he had gone out of his
way for Ma and me, and many others. The list seemed endless as I
thought on it.
Pa insisted that everyone try on the shoes before we left. I was amazed
when they all fit and I wondered how he had known what sizes to get.
Then I guessed that if he was on an errand for the Lord that the Lord
would make sure he got the right sizes.
Tears were running down Widow Jensen's face again when we stood up to
leave. Pa took each of the kids in his big arms and gave them a hug.
They clung to him and didn't want us to go. I could see that they
missed their Pa, and I was glad that I still had mine.
At the door Pa turned to Widow Jensen and said, "The Mrs. wanted me to
invite you and the children over for Christmas dinner tomorrow. The
turkey will be more than the three of us can eat, and a man can get
cantankerous if he has to eat turkey for too many meals. We'll be by to
get you about eleven. It'll be nice to have some little ones around
again. Matt, here, hasn't been little for quite a spell." I was the
youngest. My two brothers and two sisters had all married and had moved
away. Widow Jensen nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Miles. I don't
have to say, "'May the Lord bless you,' I know for certain that He
will."
Out on the sled I felt a warmth that came from deep within and I didn't
even notice the cold. When we had gone a ways, Pa turned to me and said,
"Matt, I want you to know something. Your ma and me have been
tucking a little money away here and there all year so we could buy
that rifle for you, but we didn't have quite enough.
Then yesterday a man who owed me a little money from years back came by
to make things square. Your ma and me were real excited, thinking that
now we could get you that rifle, and I started into town this morning
to do just that. But on the way I saw little Jakey out scratching in
the woodpile with his feet wrapped in those gunnysacks and I knew what
I had to do. Son, I spent the money for shoes and a little candy for
those children. I hope you understand."
I understood, and my eyes became wet with tears again. I understood
very well, and I was so glad Pa had done it. Now the rifle seemed very
low on my list of priorities. Pa had given me a lot more. He had given
me the look on Widow Jensen's face and the radiant smiles of her three
children.
For the rest of my life, whenever I saw any of the Jensens, or split a
block of wood, I remembered, and remembering brought back that same joy
I felt riding home beside Pa that night. Pa had given me much more than
a rifle that night; he had given me the best Christmas of my life.
Thank you Del:)

Hi Patsy,
I just had to write to tell you this................Remember the trouble
I was having with my adopted families responding?
Well, both ended up writing back to me so I sent off a small package for
each of them.
BUT it gets better......
A local radio station out here has a special "Christmas Wish" Program
each year. People write in their Christmas wishes
and they try to help them by giving them their wish. Well, I felt so bad
for the family that I got in Connecticut that I wrote
a wish letter to the station asking for help to brighten their
Christmas. I just hung up the phone with the promotions director
of that station and my letter was accepted!!!!! They will read it on
the air and grant my wish to brighten the Christmas for Frances in CT
she was # 58.........Woooo ohoo I'm soooo happy right now....This is the
best Christmas present ever!!!
Thanks for all you do!
I just had to share this with you so that you know your hard work really
does pay off and is so greatly appreciated.
Jan in Mass
Printed with Jan's permission!
ohhhhhhh print away.........I think everyone would love to see how
wonderful you and this newsletter truly is....
it does help alot of people in so many ways:)))

Dearest Patsy,
it is Beckie, Helen's daughter. Oh, you wonderful person for running
this program. I just got over to moms and she told me about the
certificate for the food basket. Needless to say, I am thrilled to
pieces, I am crying as I write this. I have prayed so hard for help, and
this truly is the answer to my prayers. We are going thru the sale ads
for the grocery store planning out our dinner, and this is all possible
because of you and the generous people who donated to this cause. Thank
you so very much, and have a wonderful holiday. Love, Beckie

HI Dear Sis,
Once again I only got the email I sent to you and your reply is not
here????????? I know that is so very strange cause sometimes your email
comes through but most of the time is doesn't. Maybe if you try
changing the subject line again like before. We got a small package
from Mary and her husband. It is so neat cause she put a few small
gifts in for Risa and even signed one from Mom and Dad in case we are
not able to get her anything. She included a gift for every member of
the household and a card with twenty dollars cash in it. She is such a
sweetheart and the best gift I got was because of you I have a new good
and dear friend on here in Mary as I usually get some kind of email from
her on a daily basis. Dear I hope that things are going really great
for all of you. I dearly love you all and I am so sorry that the only
gift I can give you this year is my love and prayers dear. Take care
and I hope to hear back from you soon. Even though I couldn't read your
response I know you got it since I got it back if you know what I mean.
Love You So Much,
Tom

Patsy and Kay,
I just wanted to thank you guys again so much for the gift card. If has

to a slow down in business the past several weeks, my "services" were no
longer needed.... 3 days b4 Christmas I got an email telling me I no
longer had a job...It didnt end there though, later on yesterday
afternoon I recvd a telephone call from my ex-hubby letting me know that
he has been activated for deployment in Iraq.....
so I now have to tell my 9 yr old daughter the day b4 Christmas that her
daddy is going to war. Thanks to you guys we are at least able to all
sit down to a nice Christmas dinner and maybe for just a little while
forgot about our troubles.... thank you all so much....
God Bless
Amie

Sad Christmas story...please keep theses dear people in your prayers:
Dear Patsy,
My name is Rhonda and my husband Ronnie was diagnosed with bone marrow
cancer last November.In may of this year his kidneys failed and he is
now on dialysis. It has been a rough year, long hospital stays,
treatments,ect.., I have had to quit work to take care of him. He
receives disability, but it is only 1000.00 a month. We have 2 sons,
Jon-13 and Josh-12, they have really had to grow up in the last year,
and have done without so many things. But never once have they
complained, and have even told me not to worry about Christmas this
year. I would really love to give them and their daddy a nice Christmas,
one day where they can forget about everything that is going on right
now. Just a nice christmas dinner. I remembered that you done the
baskets last year and thought I would try this.Also Ronnie is waiting
for a donor to be found so he can have a bone marrow transplant. So
could you please put him in your prayers and pray that a donor be found.
You and all the people who are doing this are truly angels. Thank You
and God Bless You. Rhonda S. Bonnieville, Ky. USA
update
Dear Patsy, First off I just wanted to thank you for putting us on your
list for the baskets. And I also wanted to update you on Ronnie. We
found out 2 weeks ago that the cancer has gone to his spinal fluid and
the fluid surrounding his brain, He started treatments last tuesday for
this. On wednsday weended up at the emergency room and he had 2 seizures
before they could get it stopped. The doctors put him on a ventalater
and took me out in the hall and told me that he would not make it. He
was having serious problems. I sat down in the middle of the hall and
prayed.He was moved to the coronary care unit, where he stayed sedated
till yesterday morning, I never left his side and never stopped praying.
They let him come out from under the medicine they sedated him with,
then they took him off the ventalater. within 12 hours he was doing fine
and I was thanking God that he helped us through this. We are still not
for sure what will happen now, the doctors do not think he will be able
to take that type of chemo treatments, they think he had a reaction to
the chemo they gave him. He will be on seizure meds from now on. But I
thank God every chance I get for not taking him from us. But he still
needs prayers. I wanted to ask everyone to please pray for him. Our boys
were with us when this happened and it has really been hard on them
going through all that, please pray for them too,Thank you. and God
Bless You. Rhonda
Dear Patsy & Kay,
I thought you would like to know about one of my adopted family's, (see
the forwarded letter). Please keep Rhonda and her boys Jon & Josh in
your prayers. With love,
Rachel M. O.
*I want to thank you so much for what you are doing for my family, my
boys really need some happiness.
I also wanted to let you know that Ronnie passed away on the Monday
night. His left lung had filled up with blood and they couldn't do
surgery to fix the problem and they tried to get his platelets built up
so they could do the surgery, but he was suffering so much and he just
couldn't fight it any more. he passed quickly and I decided to bury him
quickly to, so it wouldn't be so hard on the kids. we buried him today
and the boys made me promise that christmas would go on because that is
what daddy would have wanted, so thanks to you that will happen. I am
doing fine, he is no longer suffering and he is in a much better place
than here. He looked like he did before he got sick and even looked like
he was smiling, so that made it much easier to let him go. Its so hard
but I know that life goes on.
Thank you again and I will talk to you soon. I hope you have a wonderful
Christmas.
hugs, Rhonda

Hi Patsy, I just wanted to say thank you for your consideration and just
listening to what I had to say when I wrote to you when I did, when I
put my name in for a christmas basket. It's been hard for me since I
lost my son(he was only 12 yrs old) and I haven't been doing well
without him. He was the only child I had and I miss him so much. But I
do want to thank you for just reading my letter and your very sweet
reply. I know I wasn't pick for a christmas basket because their are
others out there that need it more than me but keep me in your prayer if
you will. Thank you very much.

Thank you to all of you who made our Christmas Basket project such a
HUGE success. Those who could not give, prayed for the project & helped
the Spirit move people to donate & adopt & seek so many ways to help
others. Isn't this what Christmas is all about? The true Spirit of
Christmas is alive & well with our group of people here. May God richly
bless each one of you beyond your greatest hopes & dreams.
Last year Rob was with us & helped so much in all the work. 5 days
later, he went home to Heavenly Father. He is greatly missed & I have
spent a lot of my time remembering the Christmas stockings we made for
the elderly & had so much fun delivering, all of the calls to family &
friends, the beautiful dinner we made together, & gifts that cannot be
bought or sold, but; just given straight from the heart.
My Christmas Wish for all of you, is to have the kind of love that Rob &
I had. God bless you every one.
Again, we thank you so very much & I am so proud to call you...
...MY beloved Friends/Family.
Hope this is your happiest Christmas ever! Be safe! Be happy!
