Christmas Gifts

Here at Urban Youth Outreach we give away presents to every child we know for Christmas. These gifts are donated from different churches, organizations, & other ministries. This year one of my friends from my small group at Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park, Illinois is giving a present to one of the boys, Kerri a 17 year old boy in the ministry, one of the regulars. She was asking me what he wanted for Christmas so I decided to just ask him so he can get something that he wanted or needed. So the next time I was at Urban Youth I decided to ask Kerri what he wanted. I asked him multiple times & he never could think of anything he wanted. I then asked why he didn't know, I mean it was an easy question. He replied "Nobody's ever asked me what I wanted for Christmas." This literally broke my heart into pieces. He always such a smile, and just something that makes all the people around him brighten. & yet he has nothing. That was simply beautiful to me.
