Playing Santa by paying it forward

For Brooke Gamble and husband Jason, the essence of the season is in an anonymous act of unexpected kindness.

We decided last year that this would be our yearly tradition. Last year, we visited the Alabaster Wal-Mart, and this year we’ve chosen another store that features a layaway program. Our only specification is that it is for toys only. We put $100 towards a layaway balance without knowing which family it is benefitting. We are just truly blessed when we follow the word of God and help people in need. Although we really didn’t want to tell people about it, perhaps by sharing our story others will be moved to do the same.
