This isn’t a song and it doesn’t rhyme but in the last few days at Caring For Life we have had….
660 mince pies
172 gift tags
162 Christmas gift bags
157 gifts
135 tubs of chocolates
115 boxes of biscuits
110 bags for food hampers
100 chocolate santas
19 rolls of wrapping paper
17 deliveries from online companies
15 books for children
and 2 rolls of sticky tape!
And then there were 7 days to deliver all of the above!
The Core team are out every day delivering the food hampers and gifts, along with Christmas cards, Christmas magazines, and invitations to an online Christmas Day service. It is a privilege to be able to deliver these goodies and to see smiles of joy and gratitude, to be able to chat on doorsteps and in gardens, and to share the ‘reason for the season’ with those we care for.
