Sign of the times

I went to a locally-owned grocery store before Christmas. Hanging in the back of the store next to the fire extinguisher was this sign. People around where I live are exceedingly generous and more than willing to help one another. At first, I laughed at the sign because I thought it sounded strange. I don't personally know the owners but I can get enough of a feeling about them to know that they would rather give you something for free than have you compromise yourself by stealing. It makes you realize how blessed you are if you have a roof over your head, food to eat, and enough money to give away gifts at Christmas.
