One of my favorite Christmas stories is Little Drummer Boy who, unlike the rich kings visiting baby Jesus, felt he had no gifts to give. But he gave the richest gift of all – playing the drum with all his heart. Let’s each strive to give our gift that’s fit even for a King throughout the year: our hearts and presence. The KindSpring Team wishes you a very happy holiday and New Year. – Ameeta
