Sometimes a little surprise can get you through a rough day.

My surprise came from a young gentleman named Sammy. The kid has darned good timing.
Sammy has been helping out with the homeless through PADS on Sunday nights over several weeks at Congregation Etz Chiam (Chaim?) in Lombard, IL. Last night, he gave each of us a gift bag like the one above.
What was inside?

Love.
