SECRET SANTA GIVES AWAY $100 BILLS

I was listening to KLove radio station this afternoon and I heard a wonderful story of charity that touched my heart. In Reading, Pennsylvania last night, a Secret Santa gave away $100 bills to unsuspecting residents of the city. Every now and then there comes along a wonderful story, but this kind of charity is exceptionally rare. It was reported that the Santa handed out $20,000 to residents of the poorest district in this Pennsylvania town. 
The gracious donor had read somewhere that Reading, Pa was designated as America's poorest city with a population of 65,000 plus. Santa wanted to make a difference and he stayed for several hours to bless the lives of those who lived in this community. This Santa, who wishes to remain anonymous, arrived at a bus terminal in Reading and started handing out $100 bills - one right after another!  One resident told the local paper, "I was brought up to believe that you take care of your family... but I can't find a job!" When he was approached by the Secret Santa, he wept as he received the generous offering. Then he said, Santa patted him on the shoulder and told him, "You're a good man!" 
Santa is a wealthy businessman who got this wonderful tradition from a friend who had passed away a few years ago. He will be traveling to other cities in the next few weeks to spread an abundance of faith, hope and charity to those who may be suffering in this fallen economy.  
Through a generous example of charity, one man has certainly lifted the burdens of many.  He is the true meaning of the spirit of Christmas, for in Matthew 25: 37-40 it is written, "In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."Written by Linda Sumner Urza, One fine day.
