He kept a collection of practical gifts by the door and in his car to give to children and adults alike. He also played phone Santa to young nephews and nieces.
His solitude hobbies in gardening and power tool crafts motivated his desire to give. He enjoyed sharing blooms from his orchids, and ginger. He customized little red wagons to give to the baby baptismal at church and to his nieces and nephews.
Thank you, God, for your faithfulness in the secure love and hope in his Savior Jesus Christ. James 1:18 of His own will, He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.
