A Beautiful Christmas Story

Mike Jeffcoat, a Charlotte, N.C. businessman, decided to share his good fortune with others by taping 300 $1 bills to his office window Friday, AP tells us.

A note posted with the cash said, "Please take only what you need. Remember others."

Most people might expect that the cash was gone with the first person who saw it. Some would anticipate a story about how many people were injured in a riot that broke out as a greedy mob fought over the money.

The real story is that many in the crowd took nothing. Some took a few bucks for a cup of coffee.

It took more than a half an hour to deplete the storefront fund.

The moral of the story might be that: "The greatest generosity and compassion sometimes comes from those who have the least to give."

And that is something Ed. hopes everyone will think about this Christmas morn.
