We are having the home teachers deliver the baskets and in many cases, I feel those same home teachers are just as deserving of the goodie basket as the original recipient. Over the course of the year they put so much time in, in caring for the needs and concerns of the families they visit.

Three cheers for the dear souls of the ward that answer the telephone when caller ID informs them that it is someone in the ward that probably needs help. Not everyone chooses to answer the phone or call people back–and those that do deserve a very big Thank You.

We all know who these people are. (As in the old saying, 80% of the work is done by 20% of the members.)

For these folks to have their often herculean efforts recognized with some small but tangible token of appreciation strikes me as a great Xmas gift to them.
