This holiday season I was brought to tears when I opened a gift on Christmas morning from people I have never met. Such thoughtfulness and generosity from “strangers” blew me away. (Strangers no more – thanks Dwight and Dean.)

It was a hand painted canvas, based on the designs of Rhonda Kullberg (a Canadian artist), and had the anonymous saying:

Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger.

Lets strive to make the world a giant family where we can embrace each other and share in joys and also comfort one another during hardships. I know my life has been enriched and uplifted because Dwight and Dean have joined my “family”.

Together we can strive to bring peace and love to the world!
