"Thy Father... Seeth in Secret"

In this room, where I sit every morning to blog or use the computer in any way, there is a poster with Jesus' face on it, and the caption, "You Are Never Alone." The poster is meant to be comforting, and comforting it sometimes is, with a smaller caption, "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you (John 14:18)." But it can also be a warning. Nothing you do is ever done in secret. Eyes from above are always watching. You are never alone. Of course, that's nothing to be afraid of, as long as we don't do anything we'd rather keep secret from Heaven. It can even be a positive thing. Jesus taught:

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 

That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6: 2-4

I think "Secret-Santa"-style generosity fits under the same category.

The truth is that all things, good and bad, are witnessed by Heaven, and for every action, both of virtue and of vice, there will come a just reward. Justice can seem cold and hard at times, but it is always fair, and sometimes acts in our favor, especially when we act in the favor of others. Whether we do good things or bad things, whether other people know what we do or not, God knows. His angels are always watching us, making record of every action. Let's try and make sure we have positive marks on our Eternal records, whether anyone else is watching or not.
