2．Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas，Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families．With a social worker mother，the Sutton children had inherited her commitment to service，and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted．This year，Kinzie，her seven-year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself．
The phone rang on Sunday．A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen through．No Santa Claus，no presents，nothing．
Ann saw the cheer vanish from her children's faces at the news．Without a word，Kinzie ran into her bedroom．She returned，her face set with determination．Opening up her piggy bank，she put all the coins onto the table：3.30． Everything she had．
"Mom，"she told Ann，"I know it's not much．But maybe this will buy a present for the baby．"
At a breakfast meeting the next day，Ann told her coworkers about her daughter's story．To her surprise，staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help Kinzie．By day's end，the story of Kinzie's gift had spread beyond Ann's office．She received a call from an unknown donor．If a seven-year-old could give everything she had，he said，he should at least match her gift 100 to 1．He contributed  300．
On Christmas Eve，Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys lived．Then she began to unload the gifts from the car，handing them to Ashley one by one．
Ashley was very moved．Reflecting on a little girl's generosity，Ashley says she'll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need．"Kinzie could have used that money for herself，but she gave it away，"Ashley says．"She's the type of kid I'd like my son to grow up to be．"

15．I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage．For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father．Totally loving．No ifs，ands or buts．
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio．The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives．Then he went on to say，"Love is an act of will．A person can choose to love．"To myself，I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband．Well，for two weeks that would change．
And it did．Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said，"That new yellow sweater looks great on you．""Oh，Tom，you noticed"，she said，surprised and pleased．Maybe a little puzzled．After the long drive，I wanted to sit and read．Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach．I started to refuse，but then I thought，"Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me．"We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites．
So it went．Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director； a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums．Relaxed and happy，that's how the whole vacation passed．I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love．?
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment，however．Evelyn and I still laugh about it today．On the last night at our cottage，preparing for bed，Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression．
"What's the matter？"I asked her．
"Tom，"she said in a voice filled with distress，"I don't？"
"What do you mean？"
"Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me？Tom，you've been so good to me…am I dying？"
It took a moment for it all to be understood．Then I burst out laughing．
"No，honey，"I said，wrapping her in my arms．"You're not dying； I'm just starting to live．"
