Major Mark Campbell lost his legs in Afghanistan -- he is the highest ranked soldier to have sustained such injuries there. Over Christmas, anonymous well-wishers left gifts at his house every night for 12 nights. Photo of Major Campbell and his wife Donna at their home in St. Albert.

“Thoughtfulness” is a perfect word for this act of kindness. It warms my heart that there are still people who can think of doing something like this in this day and age and carry through on that thought and act without feeling it necessary to be rewarded for that act by recognition.
The people who did this will be rewarded ten thousand times over in their father’s kingdom.
Crying in my coffee now.
God bless this family.
Prayers of blessings for this soldiers family.

God Bless Canada’s Afghanistan Vets.
I’m inspired. I think this story represents the true meaning of of Christmas and the way I would like to celebrate Jesus birth. In the coming year, I am going to give more thought to doing this kind of thing and try harder to find someone to help throughout the year, not just at Christmas.
My brother, who recently became a single father with two small children, was also blessed somewhat like this. A friend brought over a huge bundle filled with holiday food that his church had gathered. I was a bit surprised that my brother, who can be proud, was delighted with the gift.
